  1. How email approving workflow works in iWoWHRMS?
  1. Leave approval action can be taken based on the links sent along with the Leave Notification via email.
  2. Hence, anyone with the links can approve or reject the application directly without authentication.
  3. Alternatively, any trigger of the links from the program scanning like Antivirus or Firewall will also causes the application from being approved / rejected.
  4. Thus, iWoWSoft assumes that all emails are well guarded so that no one can access the links other than the email owner.


  1. Possibility or risk of auto approved:
  1. Antivirus or Firewall will scan every email to ensure that the source of link is free from malware or virus before user clicks on the link. This will results in the application from being approved automatically.

  3. Based on our past experience, this usually happens to organization with high IT security compliance to scan every emails received.
