Assembled should allow admins to define auto-approval rules for schedule requests (similar to existing rules for time-off requests) in order to reduce unnecessary manual review and speed up workflow management.

For example, a team might want to automatically approve all schedule changes under a certain duration (e.g., <5 hours) or requests submitted within defined parameters, while still requiring manager approval for larger or exceptional edits.

This would be especially valuable for teams where individual contributors regularly adjust their own schedules (e.g., clinical, operations, or flexible teams) and where admins currently need to manually approve hundreds of short edits each week.

Adding configurable auto-approval thresholds would help:

• Reduce bottlenecks in high-volume approval queues

• Ensure consistency across different teams or event types

• Save time for admins and managers without sacrificing oversight
