Overdue Approval Reminders from Escalation Notes

Convert reminder and escalation notes into a timer-aware approval map with stop conditions and explicit clock rules.

Prompt

Transform the uploaded reference photo into a clean, readable approval-routing visual. The intended source is a legible photo of approval reminder notes specifying deadlines, timer start events, reminder recipients, and escalation rules. Use only legible information present in the photo or explicitly supplied alongside it. Preserve the source process meaning, role names, rule values, conditions, and relationships; replace the photographed paper or whiteboard presentation with a polished digital board. Do not reproduce desk clutter, handwriting defects, glare, or perspective distortion. Show the event that starts the approval clock and preserve the stated duration, time zone, working-day calendar, pause rules, reminder intervals, and recipients when present. Distinguish a reminder from escalation and from reassignment. Mark unspecified clock assumptions as Needs clarification rather than choosing business or calendar hours. Show documented timer cancellation when the request is approved, rejected, withdrawn, or otherwise completed. A timeout must not become automatic approval unless the supplied rule explicitly says so; display any such rule verbatim and prominently for review, never execute it. Compose a portrait pending-approval board with a narrow timer rail, separate reminder and escalation cards, and visible terminal stop markers. Use short English labels, high-contrast typography, orthogonal connectors, action cards for steps, and decision diamonds only for actual decisions. Use labels as well as color to distinguish states. Keep arrow direction unambiguous, avoid connector crossings, and fit the complete map inside the canvas without clipping. Include only labels needed to understand the workflow; do not add slogans, decorative captions, logos, or explanatory filler. For an unreadable or conflicting rule, preserve a visibly unresolved Needs clarification card at the affected point; never draw a falsely complete route beyond it. If the photo lacks enough legible content to identify the process, request a clearer source photo before creating the visual. Redact personal contact details, signatures, and account identifiers unless essential and explicitly requested; retain approver roles. Deliver one finished visual derived from the reference photo. This is a visual design for review: do not send notifications, grant approvals, change records, connect accounts, or claim an automation has been deployed.

Upload your photo to the AI tool first, then use this prompt. The prompt asks the model to preserve identity and key visual features.

How to use it

  1. Upload a legible photo of approval reminder notes specifying deadlines, timer start events, reminder recipients, and escalation rules.
  2. Paste the prompt and provide any confirmed rule clarifications alongside the photo.
  3. Check the finished visual against the source and resolve all Needs clarification cards before using it to configure an automation.

Common failure fixes

  • If the timer assumes working days or a time zone absent from the notes, replace the assumption with Needs clarification.
  • If escalation becomes reassignment, restore the source action and its original recipient.
  • If reminders continue after completion, restore the documented cancellation path and flag missing stop rules.
