A time-off request waiting for confirmation A time-off request waiting for confirmation When you ask Begin AI to change something, your role still decides whether you can do it. Keep Manually approve selected when you want to check every proposed change before it runs.

Check the proposed change

1

Describe your own change

Name the date, time and record, such as your time-off request. AI can only offer actions that your role permits.
2

Read the confirmation card

Check the person, dates, times and the action itself. Confirming the wrong dates changes the wrong work.
3

Confirm or cancel

Choose Confirm when the preview is correct, or Cancel and ask for a corrected proposal. Wait for the result before assuming it succeeded.
4

Check the record

Open the relevant page in Begin to check the saved result or request status.

Choose when it asks first

Open Approval mode in the composer. The choice applies to that chat. New chats start with your last choice. Cards already waiting are not automatically accepted when you change the mode.

Keep approval meanings separate

Your AI confirmation authorises the assistant to perform an action. It is not your manager’s approval of a time-off or timesheet request. If the saved request is pending, it still needs the normal review.
Approval mode never adds permission. It cannot let an employee publish shifts, change pay or approve someone else’s request.
An external client connected through Begin MCP has its own confirmation behaviour. It does not show Begin AI’s confirmation card.
