Overview
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
