Automated reminder for an approval request
I have a process for requesting approval that requires approval from 5 different people. Once the first person approves, the request is forwarded to the next person. How can I set up automated reminders for each approver if the status remains "submitted" for more than 3 days?

Unfortunately at this time there isn't a built-in automated reminder function for update requests. My workaround is that I have recurring automations to send an email to the contact if their relevant column has any rows saying Pending. It's just an email telling them to look for the actual update request emails and handle them. You may like to upvote this product idea:

Sorry, I replied like it was an update request. I have basically the same reply for Approval Requests, but also here are some other posts on the same question:
