Yes. In an approval chain, you can enable Skip step if no action taken in [X] days for an approval level.
When this option is enabled:
- The request remains at the current approval level for the configured number of days.
- If the approver does not take action within that period, that approval step is skipped.
- The request then moves to the next applicable level in the approval chain.
- Approval levels otherwise follow the configured sequence. Keka documentation confirms, for example, that Level 2 approval can occur only after Level 1 approval or when the preceding level is skipped based on the applicable configuration.
Example
Consider an approval chain with four levels:
Level 1 → Level 2 → Level 3 → Level 4
If Level 1 has Skip step if no action taken in 2 days enabled and the Level 1 approver takes no action during that period, the Level 1 step is skipped and the request progresses to Level 2.
The request continues through the configured approval chain until it reaches Level 4.
Note: Progression through the approval chain and notifications are separate. The available documentation does not confirm that a Level 4 approver receives a notification immediately when the employee initially raises the request.
