I. Intro

When you need to inform other people about the approval, you can synchronize the approval information by setting up approval forwarding. The CC'ed user cannot operate the approval process, but will receive a notification. Also, you can view all the CC'ed approvals in the list of Notified of the app.

Lark Approval supports 2 forms of CC:

•Auto CC: Set by the administrator from Approval Admin, valid for all forms of this approval.
