Escalation flows & approvals

Decide what happens when a request stalls — and keep a person in control of everything that’s sent.

Escalation flows

A flow is a sequence of steps that moves a request forward — for example, a follow-up after no response, or an escalation. Build and edit flows in the visual flow builder under Settings, then attach one to a request.

How a flow advances

A flow attached to a request advances through its steps over time. When a step would send a letter, that letter doesn’t go out automatically — it’s placed in the approval queue for a person to review first.

The decision approval queue

Proposed actions — including anything a flow or an AI assistant drafts — collect in the approval queue. A reviewer approves or rejects each one.

The maker-checker path: whatever a flow or AI proposes waits in the approval queue until a person approves it.

No letter leaves PRA Center without a human approving it. This maker-checker step always applies.

Recovering a stalled flow

If a flow hits an error or runs out of steps, the request shows a recovery panel so you can skip the blocking step or close the flow — and contact support if you need a hand.
