We did another little push this morning to add a new feature: document requests. The idea here is to give Approver users the ability to ask someone else to send them a file using Approver.
To do a document request:
- Go to the create page (or click on the Create link at the top of any page)
- Click on Request
- Type the email address of the person you want to send the file (the person doesn’t have to be a member of Approver.com)
- Click on Send Request
After you send the request, the recipient will receive an email from Approver.com with a special link to click. After they click the link, Approver will automatically know that the file should be routed to you (the other user doesn’t have to type in your email address or user name, which makes it less likely that they’ll misspell it).
After the upload is done, the file will appear in your My Documents queue. You’ll have ownership of the file, and the person who sent you the file will be added as a reviewer and editor (in case they need to upload additional revisions to the document later). Finally, when the other user has uploaded the file, you’ll receive an email alert from Approver to let you know that the file is ready for your review.
We did this feature as a result of a request from an Approver.com user. If you have any feature requests or other feedback for us, please let us know.
