## Setup Auto Approve

Setting up **Auto Approve **slightly varies based on your user type. To begin adding **Heroes** to your **Auto Approve** list, you must first activate this setting in your **Community Settings**.

If you are a Community user, follow these steps. If you are an enterprise user, you will follow a different set of steps.

 

### For Community Users:

1. Go to your **Community**page and scroll down to the section titled **Auto-Approve Settings.**

2. Toggle**ON**the option**Enable Trusted HERO Auto-Approval**.

You must also set a **maximum number of hours per week** a HERO can be auto-approved to work.

Example:

If the maximum is set to 30 hours per week, the Auto-Approve function will not work if the HERO has already worked or is expected to work more than 30 hours that week.

## Auto Approving a HERO

### Option 1

To use **Auto-Approval**, you need to enable it on each HERO’s profile. This option is available only for **Heroes** who have worked **at least one shift** in your **Community**.

 

**Steps:**

1. Open the HERO’s profile.
2. Find the setting called **Trusted HERO Auto-Approval** and switch it to **ON**.

3. If you are an Enterprise user, you may be asked to select the Communities where the HERO will be Auto-Approved.

4. Enterprise users can manage the list of communities at any time by clicking on the gear icon that appears next to the Auto-Approve setting.

5. To turn OFF auto-approval for a HERO, just go to their profile and switch the Trusted HERO Auto-Approval setting to OFF.

 

### Option 2

Add a HERO to Auto-Approval from a Shift Approval Popup.

When you approve a **HERO** for **three consecutive shifts**, a popup will appear asking if you would like to add them to your **Trusted HERO Auto-Approval** list.

![](http://www.doyoukare.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Screenshot-2025-04-29-204131.png)

You will see three options:

- **Tap “Yes”** to add the HERO to your auto-approved list.
- **Tap “No”** to close the popup and keep the HERO off the list.
- **Tap “Do Not Show This Again”** to prevent the popup from showing again for this HERO.

 

## View the Auto-Approved List

1. **Open the HERO’s profile.**
