Pgcli workflow approvals in Teams

The request came in on a quiet afternoon: approve a database change, but don’t leave Teams. No emails. No separate dashboards. Just a click in the channel where the work happens.

Pgcli workflow approvals in Teams make this possible. Pgcli gives you a fast, interactive way to query Postgres. Coupled with automated workflows, it can push approval requests for schema changes, data updates, or scripts directly into Microsoft Teams. The result is low-friction control over production data, without forcing people to jump between tools.

Here’s how it works.

1. A developer runs a Pgcli command that triggers a guarded change—maybe a migration script.
2. The workflow engine detects the command and routes it into an approval stage.
3. Teams posts a card with details: command preview, database context, and risk level.
4. Approvers click Approve or Reject within the Teams interface.
5. The Pgcli process continues or stops based on the decision.

Integrating Pgcli workflow approvals in Teams requires secure connections and clear role definitions. Configure Pgcli to authenticate with your database using environment variables or secure credential storage. Connect your workflow automation (such as Hoop.dev pipelines) to Microsoft Teams via its webhook or connector system. Map specific Pgcli commands to approval triggers so only high-impact changes need review.

Security is critical. Keep audit logs of every request and response. Include SQL previews in approval messages so reviewers know exactly what will run. Use role-based access control in Teams to ensure only authorized users can approve Pgcli workflows.

With this setup, Teams becomes your operation control panel. Every database change request appears where you already collaborate. Decision latency drops. Compliance improves. And Pgcli retains its speed without losing oversight.
