Human validation allows you to pause workflow execution for manual review and approval. This is essential for workflows that require human judgment or verification.
When to use human validation
Use human validation when:
- Processing sensitive or high-value documents
- Making critical business decisions
- Verifying AI extraction accuracy
- Compliance or regulatory requirements demand human oversight
- Data quality needs manual verification
Validation types
Optional validation
AI nodes like Document Extractor support optional validation:
- Workflow continues automatically by default
- Can be flagged for human review if needed
- Useful for quality checks on a subset of runs
Mandatory validation
The Manual Validation node always requires human input:
- Workflow pauses at this node
- Workflow resumes after approval
Validation process
- Workflow Pauses: Execution stops at the validation node
- Task Created: A validation task is created
- Review Data: Reviewer examines data and reference documents
- Make Corrections: Reviewer can edit extracted data
- Approve: Reviewer approves and workflow continues
Validation interface
The validation interface shows:
- Original document (if applicable)
- Extracted/processed data
- Expected values for comparison
- Edit capabilities for corrections
- Approve/reject buttons
Best practices
- Assign validation tasks to specific team members
- Set up notifications for pending validations
- Monitor validation queue regularly
- Document validation guidelines for consistency
- Use optional validation for lower-risk items
- Reserve mandatory validation for critical data
