1-Click Deploy Process (Phase 1)

Release date: 30 June 2022

Up to now, the process to approve and deploy a flow was a two-person job. The flow-builder had to submit the flow for approval, and a second user (reviewing the flow/changes) was required to approve and deploy the flow before it was promoted to production. A user could not approve and deploy their own flows.

With this release, we've added another way for one person to approve and deploy flows without requiring a second 'user'. Once the simplified "1-Click Deploy Process" is enabled on a client's account, the flow-builder is allowed to deploy their own flows straight from the Chat Flow canvas, saving them a lot of time and frustration.

In Phase 1, this is a flag that can be set by Clickatell upon request from the client. In the next phase, we'll add it as a setting that our clients with Admin permission can set themselves.

When the "1-Click Deploy Process" is enabled, the "Submit for Approval" button changes to "Deploy to Production"

The flow-builder must simply confirm they want to continue with the flow deployment

All done! the flow-builder has promoted their own flow to production.
