Confluence Approvals – Send recurring reminders until approval is completed

Currently, Confluence Approvals sends a single reminder notification the day before the due date. While this works well for most standard workflows, it may not be sufficient for time-sensitive approvals where a single reminder could be missed or overlooked.

Feature Request: Allow recurring reminder notifications to be sent to approvers at configurable intervals (e.g., daily, every X days) until the approval is completed or the due date is reached.

Use case: Teams managing compliance, change management, or operational approvals need assurance that approvers are actively notified until action is taken.

Hey @Josue Paniagua Varela ,

I guess this will be 'available' once they roll out this: AUTO-2440: Add new Approval statuses to Confluence automation

But as this is relatively new, I'd also suggest reaching out here (if you haven't already) Approvals in Confluence, now on Open Beta and leaving a comment to the product team with this requirement. 💬

I can see what you've described being helpful to other folk as well. If they do create public tracker/suggestion, it would be great if you could share the link here 👀

Cheers,
Tobi

Hi Tomislav, thank you for the quick response and for pointing me to AUTO-2440 — that's exactly the kind of visibility I was looking for! I've gone ahead and voted on the approval statuses ticket you shared.

I also left a comment on the Open Beta announcement with our team's requirement. Really appreciate your help and the suggestion

I'll make sure to share the link here if a public tracker or suggestion post gets created. Cheers!

Hi @Josue Paniagua Varela !

If you need recurring approval reminders now rather than waiting for this to become available natively, Aura Workflow & Approval supports this use case.

Approval reminders can be configured with a recurring cadence, along with the days and time they should be sent. They’re only sent to reviewers who still have an outstanding approval, so someone who has already responded won’t continue receiving reminders.

There’s also an Open Tasks view where reviewers can see all pages currently awaiting their approval.

You can find Aura Workflow & Approval on the Atlassian Marketplace.

Just for full disclosure, I work at Seibert Group, the team behind Aura Workflow & Approval.

Hope this gives you another option while the native Confluence functionality continues to develop!
