# Automatically Notify the Next Approver

## Activate the Auto-notify Next Approver feature to ensure that the next approver in your Company or Custom workflow will be automatically notified of the previous approval completion.

 The next approver will receive a notification via email and see this task on their **Actions Required**. 

### Activate this feature

- Navigate to the desired **Document**
- Select the **Company Workflow** or **Custom Workflow**
- Check the box **Automatically notify next approvers when a step is complete.**
- Click **Save**
- No notification is sent for the first step of the workflow. It must be triggered manually if required. If an approval step is canceled and then revalidated, the notification is sent again.
