# Approve or cancel transfers

Allow members of your team to approve or cancel transfers before Adyen processes them.

[View source](/business-accounts/send-funds/approve-cancel-transfers.md)

To decrease the risk of unintentional or malicious transfers in your balance platform, you can trigger additional reviews for transfers. Additional reviews require a member of your team to verify a transfer before Adyen processes it. You decide which members of your team are allowed to review transfers by assigning them the [required API role](#requirements) in your [Customer Area](https://ca-test.adyen.com/).

To complete the review, the reviewer must either approve or cancel the transfer. If the transfer is approved, then Adyen continues processing the transfer.

## Requirements

Before you begin, take into account the following requirements.

| Requirement                                                                              | Description                                                                                               |
| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **[API credential roles](/business-accounts/manage-access/api-credentials-web-service)** | Make sure that your web service API key has the following role:- **TransferService Approval role**        |
| **[Webhooks](/development-resources/webhooks/configure-and-manage)**                     | Subscribe to the following webhook:- [**Transfer Webhooks**](/platforms/webhook-types/#transfer-webhooks) |

## How it works

The following diagram shows the approval flow for a transfer when you trigger an additional review.

![](/user/pages/reuse/pfs-transfers/approve-cancel-transfers/approval-flow/approval-flow-diagram.svg?decoding=auto\&fetchpriority=auto)

As shown in the previous diagram, the approval flow is the following:

1. You [trigger an additional review](/business-accounts/send-funds/make-transfer-request#trigger-additional-reviews) by including the [review](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/transfers/latest/post/transfers#request-review) object in a POST [/transfers](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/transfers/latest/post/transfers) request.

2. The transfer request is pending approval until a member of your team completes the review.

3. Depending on the decision of the reviewer, one of the following happens:

   * If the reviewer approves the transfer, then the transfer is authorized and Adyen continues processing the request.
   * If the reviewer cancels the transfer, then the transfer fails and Adyen can no longer processes the request.
   * If the reviewer takes no action within 30 days after initiating the transfer request, then the transfer fails and Adyen can no longer processes the request.

A reviewer can approve or cancel multiple transfers at the same time. The following sections explain how make API requests to approve or cancel transfers.

## Approve transfers

To approve initiated transfers, make a POST  [/transfers/approve](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/transfers/latest/post/transfers/approve) request, specifying the following parameter:

| **Parameter name**                                                                                             | **Type** | **Required**                                                                                | **Description**                                                                                                                                                           |
| -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| [transferIds](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/transfers/latest/post/transfers/approve#request-transferIds) | Body     | ![-white\_check\_mark-](/user/data/smileys/emoji/white_check_mark.png "-white_check_mark-") | An array containing the unique identifiers of the transfers that you decide to approve. You can include one or more `transferIds` in the request, up to a maximum of 500. |

The following code sample shows how to make a POST `/transfers/approve` request with two `transferIds`.

```

If the request is successful, you receive an **HTTP 200 OK** response.

### Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) for approving transfers

If a transfer requires [SCA](/business-accounts/sca-for-funds-transfers), you must do one of the following:

* Authenticate the user when initiating a transfer request.
* Authenticate the reviewer when approving a transfer request.

Because a reviewer can approve multiple transfers at the same time, performing SCA during approval allows you to satisfy the authentication requirements for multiple transfers with a single SCA process.

To [trigger SCA during approval](/business-accounts/send-funds/make-transfer-request#trigger-additional-reviews), you must set [scaOnApproval](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/transfers/latest/post/transfers#request-review-scaOnApproval) to **true** in the POST  [/transfers](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/transfers/latest/post/transfers) request.

## Cancel transfers

To cancel an initiated transfer, make a POST  [/transfers/cancel](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/transfers/latest/post/transfers/cancel) request, specifying the following parameter:

| **Parameter name**                                                                                            | **Type** | **Required**                                                                                | **Description**                                                                                                                                                          |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| [transferIds](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/transfers/latest/post/transfers/cancel#request-transferIds) | Body     | ![-white\_check\_mark-](/user/data/smileys/emoji/white_check_mark.png "-white_check_mark-") | An array containing the unique identifiers of the transfers that you decide to cancel.

transfersAPI.TransfersApi.cancelInitiatedTransfers(cancelTransfersRequest, { idempotencyKey: "UUID" });
```

If the request is successful, you receive an **HTTP 200 OK** response.

## Get status updates on transfer reviews

For every transfer request, Adyen sends multiple [webhooks](/business-accounts/third-party-transfer-webhooks) to your server. Webhooks inform you about any status change in the transfers, including the approval status.

During the approval flow, you receive webhooks for the following events:

* The transfer is initiated and requires an additional review.
* The transfer is canceled.
* The transfer expires after 30 days because the review was not completed.

Adyen uses two types of webhooks to inform you about the approval status of a transfer:

* [balancePlatform.transfer.created](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/transfer-webhooks/latest/post/balancePlatform.transfer.created), which informs your server that a transfer was initiated in your balance platform.
* [balancePlatform.transfer.updated](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/transfer-webhooks/latest/post/balancePlatform.transfer.updated), which informs your server of changes in the status of the transfer.

The following tabs explain how you can identify updates related to the approval status of a transfer.

### Tab: Additional review required

Adyen sends a [balancePlatform.transfer.created](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/transfer-webhooks/latest/post/balancePlatform.transfer.created) webhook to inform your server that a transfer was initiated in your balance platform. You can identify if the transfer requires approval by noting the following values:

| Parameter                                                                                                                                                                            | Description                                                                     | Value        |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------ |
| [status](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/transfer-webhooks/latest/post/balancePlatform.transfer.created#request-data-status)                                                     | Specifies the status of the transfer.                                           | **received** |
| [reason](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/transfer-webhooks/latest/post/balancePlatform.transfer.created#request-data-reason)                                                     | Provides more information about the status of the transfer.                     | **pending**  |
| [review.numberOfApprovalsRequired](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/transfer-webhooks/latest/post/balancePlatform.transfer.created#request-data-review-numberOfApprovalsRequired) | Specifies the number of approvals required to continue processing the transfer. | **1**        |

The following example shows a webhook that you would receive when an initiated transfer requires approval.
