Human-in-the-loop with Approvals

Use Hana Approvals as a gate in Zapier before irreversible steps.

Recommended flow:

1. Trigger event happens (new content, outbound message draft, critical update).
2. Zap creates Hana approval (create-approval endpoint).
3. Approver reviews in dashboard or Google Chat card.
4. Zap checks approval status (get approval by id) and branches:
   • approved -> continue
   • rejected/expired -> stop or send revision task

For production-safe behavior, use defaultAction = REJECTED and a clear expiryDate.
