Turn pending decisions into an approval queue pin

Human-in-the-loop choices with buttons that POST to your webhook—ideal for n8n lead routing, content approval, and ops gates.

Automations often stop at “which option should we pick?” With Pindown, queue those decisions in an approval queue pin—each item shows context and buttons that POST the choice to your n8n webhook.

Example: approval queue pin

Why use a approval queue pin?

Visible queue

Pending items stay on the canvas until someone acts.

Webhook on click

No custom approval UI to build.

Audit trail

Resolved items stay in history when configured.

Getting started

Add an approval queue pin, set your webhook URL, and have n8n create items via API. Operators click an option; your flow resumes with the selected payload.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can one item have more than two options?

Yes—define multiple labeled buttons per pending item.

Approval queue vs flow trigger?

Queue = agent proposes options; human picks. Flow trigger = human starts a run with parameters.

Does this replace email approvals?

For many teams it replaces approval threads—everything lives on the shared board.
