# Human Approval

> Use the **Human Approval** activity when a step requires user interaction, such as entering data, reviewing information, or making a decision.

Use the **Human Approval** activity when a step requires user interaction, such as entering data, reviewing information, or making a decision.

This activity suspends the process execution until the task is completed.

:::note
The **Human Approval** activity corresponds to the **User Task** element in BPMN.
:::

A **Human Approval** activity leverages activities from **Action Center**, including the **Approval Task** template. The recommended design is:

1. Create an [Action Center App Task](https://docs.uipath.com/action-center/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide/create-user-action).
2. Assign the task to one or more users and notify them via **Slack**, **Microsoft Teams**, or other communication channels.
3. Set completion timers and rules (for instance, notify or reassign)
4. Suspend execution until the **Human Approval** completes.
