What Are Channels?
Channels are the communication platforms where your team reviews and approves review tasks. Instead of forcing teams to check another dashboard, Velatir brings approvals directly into the tools you already use. When a workflow’s human intervention node creates a review task, notifications are sent to the configured channels.Available Channels
