Pause workflows for approval with Chat SDK

UpdateAug 6, 2026VerifiedAdded Sep 22, 2026

You can build human-in-the-loop approvals with Chat SDK through the new chat/workflow subpath. One requestApproval call posts a card with Approve and Deny buttons and suspends a Workflow SDK workflow until someone decides. The wait can last seconds or days and survives deploys and restarts.
