Some templates are marked Approval required. For these templates, an assigned approver must approve each workspace creation request from ShareGate's end-user app.
If you receive a ShareGate chatbot notification in Teams that asks for your approval to create a team or SharePoint site, follow the directions below to approve or deny the request.
Note: Template approvers are assigned by your organization's IT admin.

Approve a request
From ShareGate's end-user app in Teams:
- Select
from the sidebar.
- If you can't find the ShareGate end-user app in the Teams sidebar, you should be able to find it from the dotted menu.
- From the Workspaces or Overview view, select
Workspace requests.
- For each pending entry:
- Select Approve to approve the request.
OR - Select Deny to deny the request.
- Select Approve to approve the request.
- Repeat step (3) for any remaining pending approval requests.
Tip: You can see your full approval history from the Approval requests view. Filter the results as needed.
From ShareGate's chatbot notification in Teams:
- Select Reply to request.
- See steps (3) and (4) of the previous section.
Note: Requestors receive a chatbot notification to inform them of their request's outcome regardless of whether it's approved or denied.
Considerations
- You can only approve team and SharePoint site creation requests if your organization's IT admin has assigned you as a template's approver.
- If a template has multiple approvers, only one must approve a workspace creation request.
- If another approver has already replied to a workspace creation request, you can see their response from the Workspace requests view.
