+title: "Flow HITL Management"
+description: "Enterprise-grade human review for Flows with email-first notifications, routing rules, and auto-response capabilities"
+icon: "users-gear"
+mode: "wide"
+---
+
+<Note>
+Flow HITL Management features require the `@human_feedback` decorator, available in **CrewAI version 1.8.0 or higher**. These features apply specifically to **Flows**, not Crews.
+</Note>
+
+CrewAI Enterprise provides a comprehensive Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) management system for Flows that transforms AI workflows into collaborative human-AI processes. The platform uses an **email-first architecture** that enables anyone with an email address to respond to review requests—no platform account required.
+
+## Overview
+
+<CardGroup cols={3}>
+  <Card title="Email-First Design" icon="envelope">
+    Responders can reply directly to notification emails to provide feedback
+  </Card>
+  <Card title="Flexible Routing" icon="route">
+    Route requests to specific emails based on method patterns or flow state
+  </Card>
+  <Card title="Auto-Response" icon="clock">
+    Configure automatic fallback responses when no human replies in time
+  </Card>
+</CardGroup>
+
+### Key Benefits
+
+- **Simple mental model**: Email addresses are universal; no need to manage platform users or roles
+- **External responders**: Anyone with an email can respond, even non-platform users
+- **Dynamic assignment**: Pull assignee email directly from flow state (e.g., `sales_rep_email`)
+- **Reduced configuration**: Fewer settings to configure, faster time to value
+- **Email as primary channel**: Most users prefer responding via email over logging into a dashboard
+
+## Setting Up Human Review Points in Flows
+
+Configure human review checkpoints within your Flows using the `@human_feedback` decorator. When execution reaches a review point, the system pauses, notifies the assignee via email, and waits for a response.
+
+```python
+from crewai.flow.flow import Flow, start, listen
+from crewai.flow.human_feedback import human_feedback, HumanFeedbackResult
+
+class ContentApprovalFlow(Flow):
+    @start()
+    def generate_content(self):
+        # AI generates content
+        return "Generated marketing copy for Q1 campaign..."
+
+    @listen(generate_content)
+    @human_feedback(
+        message="Please review this content for brand compliance:",
+        emit=["approved", "rejected", "needs_revision"],
+    )
+    def review_content(self, content):
+        return content
+
+    @listen("approved")
+    def publish_content(self, result: HumanFeedbackResult):
+        print(f"Publishing approved content. Reviewer notes: {result.feedback}")
+
+    @listen("rejected")
+    def archive_content(self, result: HumanFeedbackResult):
+        print(f"Content rejected. Reason: {result.feedback}")
+
+    @listen("needs_revision")
+    def revise_content(self, result: HumanFeedbackResult):
+        print(f"Revision requested: {result.feedback}")
+```
+
+For complete implementation details, see the [Human Feedback in Flows](/en/learn/human-feedback-in-flows) guide.
+
+### Decorator Parameters
+
+| Parameter | Type | Description |
+|-----------|------|-------------|
+| `message` | `str` | The message displayed to the human reviewer |
+| `emit` | `list[str]` | Valid response options (displayed as buttons in UI) |
+
+## Platform Configuration
+
+Access HITL configuration from: **Deployment → Settings → Human in the Loop Configuration**
+
+<Frame>
+  <img src="/images/enterprise/hitl-settings-overview.png" alt="HITL Configuration Settings" />
+</Frame>
+
+### Email Notifications
+
+Toggle to enable or disable email notifications for HITL requests.
+
+| Setting | Default | Description |
+|---------|---------|-------------|
+| Email Notifications | Enabled | Send emails when feedback is requested |
+
+<Note>
+When disabled, responders must use the dashboard UI or you must configure webhooks for custom notification systems.
+</Note>
+
+### SLA Target
+
+Set a target response time for tracking and metrics purposes.
+
+| Setting | Description |
+|---------|-------------|
+| SLA Target (minutes) | Target response time. Used for dashboard metrics and SLA tracking |
+
+Leave empty to disable SLA tracking.
+
+## Email Notifications & Responses
+
+The HITL system uses an email-first architecture where responders can reply directly to notification emails.
+
+### How Email Responses Work
+
+<Steps>
+  <Step title="Notification Sent">
+    When a HITL request is created, an email is sent to the assigned responder with the review content and context.
+  </Step>
+  <Step title="Reply-To Address">
+    The email includes a special reply-to address with a signed token for authentication.
+  </Step>
+  <Step title="User Replies">
+    The responder simply replies to the email with their feedback—no login required.
+  </Step>
+  <Step title="Token Validation">
+    The platform receives the reply, verifies the signed token, and matches the sender email.
+  </Step>
+  <Step title="Flow Resumes">
+    The feedback is recorded and the flow continues with the human's input.
+  </Step>
+</Steps>
+
+### Response Format
+
+Responders can reply with:
+
+- **Emit option**: If the reply matches an `emit` option (e.g., "approved"), it's used directly
+- **Free-form text**: Any text response is passed to the flow as feedback
+- **Plain text**: The first line of the reply body is used as feedback
+
+### Confirmation Emails
+
+After processing a reply, the responder receives a confirmation email indicating whether the feedback was successfully submitted or if an error occurred.
+
+### Email Token Security
+
+- Tokens are cryptographically signed for security
+- Tokens expire after 7 days
+- Sender email must match the token's authorized email
+- Confirmation/error emails are sent after processing
+
+## Routing Rules
+
+Route HITL requests to specific email addresses based on method patterns.
+
+<Frame>
+  <img src="/images/enterprise/hitl-settings-routing-rules.png" alt="HITL Routing Rules Configuration" />
+</Frame>
+
+### Rule Structure
+
+```json
+{
+  "name": "Approvals to Finance",
+  "match": {
+    "method_name": "approve_*"
+  },
+  "assign_to_email": "finance@company.com",
+  "assign_from_input": "manager_email"
+}
+```
+
+### Matching Patterns
+
+| Pattern | Description | Example Match |
+|---------|-------------|---------------|
+| `approve_*` | Wildcard (any chars) | `approve_payment`, `approve_vendor` |
+| `review_?` | Single char | `review_a`, `review_1` |
+| `validate_payment` | Exact match | `validate_payment` only |
+
+### Assignment Priority
+
+1. **Dynamic assignment** (`assign_from_input`): If configured, pulls email from flow state
+2. **Static email** (`assign_to_email`): Falls back to configured email
+3. **Deployment creator**: If no rule matches, the deployment creator's email is used
+
+### Dynamic Assignment Example
+
+If your flow state contains `{"sales_rep_email": "alice@company.com"}`, configure:
+
+```json
+{
+  "name": "Route to Sales Rep",
+  "match": {
+    "method_name": "review_*"
+  },
+  "assign_from_input": "sales_rep_email"
+}
+```
+
+The request will be assigned to `alice@company.com` automatically.
+
+<Tip>
+**Use Case**: Pull the assignee from your CRM, database, or previous flow step to dynamically route reviews to the right person.
+</Tip>
+
+## Auto-Response
+
+Automatically respond to HITL requests if no human responds within a timeout. This ensures flows don't hang indefinitely.
+
+### Configuration
+
+| Setting | Description |
+|---------|-------------|
+| Enabled | Toggle to enable auto-response |
+| Timeout (minutes) | Time to wait before auto-responding |
+| Default Outcome | The response value (must match an `emit` option) |
+
+<Frame>
+  <img src="/images/enterprise/hitl-settings-auto-respond.png" alt="HITL Auto-Response Configuration" />
+</Frame>
+
+### Use Cases
+
+- **SLA compliance**: Ensure flows don't hang indefinitely
+- **Default approval**: Auto-approve low-risk requests after timeout
+- **Graceful degradation**: Continue with a safe default when reviewers are unavailable
+
+<Warning>
+Use auto-response carefully. Only enable it for non-critical reviews where a default response is acceptable.
+</Warning>
+
+## Review Process
+
+### Dashboard Interface
+
+The HITL review interface provides a clean, focused experience for reviewers:
+
+- **Markdown Rendering**: Rich formatting for review content with syntax highlighting
+- **Context Panel**: View flow state, execution history, and related information
+- **Feedback Input**: Provide detailed feedback and comments with your decision
+- **Quick Actions**: One-click emit option buttons with optional comments
+
+<Frame>
+  <img src="/images/enterprise/hitl-list-pending-feedbacks.png" alt="HITL Pending Requests List" />
+</Frame>
+
+### Response Methods
+
+Reviewers can respond via three channels:
+
+| Method | Description |
+|--------|-------------|
+| **Email Reply** | Reply directly to the notification email |
+| **Dashboard** | Use the Enterprise dashboard UI |
+| **API/Webhook** | Programmatic response via API |
+
+### History & Audit Trail
+
+Every HITL interaction is tracked with a complete timeline:
+
+- Decision history (approve/reject/revise)
+- Reviewer identity and timestamp
+- Feedback and comments provided
+- Response method (email/dashboard/API)
+- Response time metrics
+
+## Analytics & Monitoring
+
+Track HITL performance with comprehensive analytics.

+
+## Webhooks API
+
+When your Flows pause for human feedback, you can configure webhooks to send request data to your own application. This enables:
+
+- Building custom approval UIs
+- Integrating with internal tools (Jira, ServiceNow, custom dashboards)
+- Routing approvals to third-party systems
+- Mobile app notifications
+- Automated decision systems
+
+<Frame>
+  <img src="/images/enterprise/hitl-settings-webhook.png" alt="HITL Webhook Configuration" />
+</Frame>
+
+### Configuring Webhooks
+
+<Steps>
+  <Step title="Navigate to Settings">
+    Go to your **Deployment** → **Settings** → **Human in the Loop**
+  </Step>
+  <Step title="Expand Webhooks Section">
+    Click to expand the **Webhooks** configuration
+  </Step>
+  <Step title="Add Your Webhook URL">
+    Enter your webhook URL (must be HTTPS in production)
+  </Step>
+  <Step title="Save Configuration">
+    Click **Save Configuration** to activate
+  </Step>
+</Steps>
+
+You can configure multiple webhooks. Each active webhook receives all HITL events.
+
+### Webhook Events
+
+Your endpoint will receive HTTP POST requests for these events:
+
+| Event Type | When Triggered |
+|------------|----------------|
+| `new_request` | A flow pauses and requests human feedback |
+
+### Webhook Payload
+
+All webhooks receive a JSON payload with this structure:
+
+```json
+{
+  "event": "new_request",
+  "request": {
+    "id": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000",
+    "flow_id": "flow_abc123",
+    "method_name": "review_article",
+    "message": "Please review this article for publication.",
+    "emit_options": ["approved", "rejected", "request_changes"],
+    "state": {
+      "article_id": 12345,
+      "author": "john@example.com",
+      "category": "technology"
+    },
+    "metadata": {},
+    "created_at": "2026-01-14T12:00:00Z"
+  },
+  "deployment": {
+    "id": 456,
+    "name": "Content Review Flow",
+    "organization_id": 789
+  },
+  "callback_url": "https://api.crewai.com/...",
+  "assigned_to_email": "reviewer@company.com"
+}
+```
+
+### Responding to Requests
+
+To submit feedback, **POST to the `callback_url`** included in the webhook payload.
+
+```http
+POST {callback_url}
+Content-Type: application/json
+
+{
+  "feedback": "Approved. Great article!",
+  "source": "my_custom_app"
+}
+```
+
+### Security
+
+<Info>
+All webhook requests are cryptographically signed using HMAC-SHA256 to ensure authenticity and prevent tampering.
+</Info>
+
+#### Webhook Security
+
+- **HMAC-SHA256 signatures**: Every webhook includes a cryptographic signature
+- **Per-webhook secrets**: Each webhook has its own unique signing secret
+- **Encrypted at rest**: Signing secrets are encrypted in our database
+- **Timestamp verification**: Prevents replay attacks
+
+#### Signature Headers
+
+Each webhook request includes these headers:
+
+| Header | Description |
+|--------|-------------|
+| `X-Signature` | HMAC-SHA256 signature: `sha256=<hex_digest>` |
+| `X-Timestamp` | Unix timestamp when the request was signed |
+
+#### Verification
+
+Verify by computing:
+
+```python
+import hmac
+import hashlib
+
+expected = hmac.new(
+    signing_secret.encode(),
+    f"{timestamp}.{payload}".encode(),
+    hashlib.sha256
+).hexdigest()
+
+if hmac.compare_digest(expected, signature):
+    # Valid signature
+```
+
+### Error Handling
+
+Your webhook endpoint should return a 2xx status code to acknowledge receipt:
+
+| Your Response | Our Behavior |
+|---------------|--------------|
+| 2xx | Webhook delivered successfully |
+| 4xx/5xx | Logged as failed, no retry |
+| Timeout (30s) | Logged as failed, no retry |
+
+## Security & RBAC
+
+### Dashboard Access
+
+HITL access is controlled at the deployment level:
+
+| Permission | Capability |
+|------------|------------|
+| `manage_human_feedback` | Configure HITL settings, view all requests |
+| `respond_to_human_feedback` | Respond to requests, view assigned requests |
+
+### Email Response Authorization
+
+For email replies:
+1. The reply-to token encodes the authorized email
+2. Sender email must match the token's email
+3. Token must not be expired (7-day default)
+4. Request must still be pending
+
+### Audit Trail
+
+All HITL actions are logged:
+- Request creation
+- Assignment changes
+- Response submission (with source: dashboard/email/API)
+- Flow resume status
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Emails Not Sending
+
+1. Check "Email Notifications" is enabled in configuration
+2. Verify routing rules match the method name
+3. Verify assignee email is valid
+4. Check deployment creator fallback if no routing rules match
+
+### Email Replies Not Processing
+
+1. Check token hasn't expired (7-day default)
+2. Verify sender email matches assigned email
+3. Ensure request is still pending (not already responded)
+
+### Flow Not Resuming
+
+1. Check request status in dashboard
+2. Verify callback URL is accessible
+3. Ensure deployment is still running
+
+## Best Practices
+
+<Tip>
+**Start Simple**: Begin with email notifications to deployment creator, then add routing rules as your workflows mature.
+</Tip>
+
+1. **Use Dynamic Assignment**: Pull assignee emails from your flow state for flexible routing.
+
+2. **Configure Auto-Response**: Set up a fallback for non-critical reviews to prevent flows from hanging.
+
+3. **Monitor Response Times**: Use analytics to identify bottlenecks and optimize your review process.
+
+4. **Keep Review Messages Clear**: Write clear, actionable messages in the `@human_feedback` decorator.
+
+5. **Test Email Flow**: Send test requests to verify email delivery before going to production.

+
+### 주요 이점
+
+- **간단한 멘탈 모델**: 이메일 주소는 보편적이며 플랫폼 사용자나 역할을 관리할 필요 없음
+- **외부 응답자**: 플랫폼 사용자가 아니어도 이메일이 있는 누구나 응답 가능
+- **동적 할당**: Flow 상태에서 직접 담당자 이메일 가져오기 (예: `sales_rep_email`)
+- **간소화된 구성**: 설정할 항목이 적어 더 빠르게 가치 실현
+- **이메일이 주요 채널**: 대부분의 사용자는 대시보드 로그인보다 이메일로 응답하는 것을 선호
+
+## Flow에서 인간 검토 포인트 설정
+
+`@human_feedback` 데코레이터를 사용하여 Flow 내에 인간 검토 체크포인트를 구성합니다. 실행이 검토 포인트에 도달하면 시스템이 일시 중지되고, 담당자에게 이메일로 알리며, 응답을 기다립니다.
+
+```python
+from crewai.flow.flow import Flow, start, listen
+from crewai.flow.human_feedback import human_feedback, HumanFeedbackResult
+
+class ContentApprovalFlow(Flow):
+    @start()
+    def generate_content(self):
+        # AI가 콘텐츠 생성
+        return "Q1 캠페인용 마케팅 카피 생성..."
+
+    @listen(generate_content)
+    @human_feedback(
+        message="브랜드 준수를 위해 이 콘텐츠를 검토해 주세요:",
+        emit=["approved", "rejected", "needs_revision"],
+    )
+    def review_content(self, content):
+        return content
+
+    @listen("approved")
+    def publish_content(self, result: HumanFeedbackResult):
+        print(f"승인된 콘텐츠 게시 중. 검토자 노트: {result.feedback}")
+
+    @listen("rejected")
+    def archive_content(self, result: HumanFeedbackResult):
+        print(f"콘텐츠 거부됨. 사유: {result.feedback}")
+
+    @listen("needs_revision")
+    def revise_content(self, result: HumanFeedbackResult):
+        print(f"수정 요청: {result.feedback}")
+```

+|-----|------|
+| SLA 목표 (분) | 목표 응답 시간. 대시보드 메트릭 및 SLA 추적에 사용 |
+
+SLA 추적을 비활성화하려면 비워 두세요.
+
+## 이메일 알림 및 응답
+
+HITL 시스템은 응답자가 알림 이메일에 직접 회신할 수 있는 이메일 우선 아키텍처를 사용합니다.
+
+### 이메일 응답 작동 방식
+
+<Steps>
+  <Step title="알림 전송">
+    HITL 요청이 생성되면 검토 콘텐츠와 컨텍스트가 포함된 이메일이 할당된 응답자에게 전송됩니다.
+  </Step>
+  <Step title="Reply-To 주소">
+    이메일에는 인증을 위한 서명된 토큰이 포함된 특별한 reply-to 주소가 있습니다.
+  </Step>
+  <Step title="사용자 회신">
+    응답자는 이메일에 피드백으로 회신하면 됩니다—로그인 필요 없음.
+  </Step>
+  <Step title="토큰 검증">
+    플랫폼이 회신을 받고, 서명된 토큰을 확인하고, 발신자 이메일을 매칭합니다.
+  </Step>
+  <Step title="Flow 재개">
+    피드백이 기록되고 인간의 입력으로 Flow가 계속됩니다.
+  </Step>
+</Steps>
+
+### 응답 형식
+
+응답자는 다음과 같이 회신할 수 있습니다:
+
+- **Emit 옵션**: 회신이 `emit` 옵션과 일치하면 (예: "approved") 직접 사용됨
+- **자유 형식 텍스트**: 모든 텍스트 응답이 피드백으로 Flow에 전달됨
+- **일반 텍스트**: 회신 본문의 첫 번째 줄이 피드백으로 사용됨
+
+### 확인 이메일
+
+회신을 처리한 후 응답자는 피드백이 성공적으로 제출되었는지 또는 오류가 발생했는지 나타내는 확인 이메일을 받습니다.
+
+### 이메일 토큰 보안
+
+- 토큰은 보안을 위해 암호화 서명됨
+- 토큰은 7일 후 만료됨
+- 발신자 이메일은 토큰의 인증된 이메일과 일치해야 함
+- 처리 후 확인/오류 이메일 전송됨
+
+## 라우팅 규칙
+
+메서드 패턴에 따라 HITL 요청을 특정 이메일 주소로 라우팅합니다.
+
+<Frame>
+  <img src="/images/enterprise/hitl-settings-routing-rules.png" alt="HITL 라우팅 규칙 구성" />
+</Frame>
+
+### 규칙 구조
+
+```json
+{
+  "name": "재무팀으로 승인",
+  "match": {
+    "method_name": "approve_*"
+  },
+  "assign_to_email": "finance@company.com",
+  "assign_from_input": "manager_email"
+}
+```
+
+### 매칭 패턴
+
+| 패턴 | 설명 | 매칭 예시 |
+|-----|------|----------|
+| `approve_*` | 와일드카드 (모든 문자) | `approve_payment`, `approve_vendor` |
+| `review_?` | 단일 문자 | `review_a`, `review_1` |
+| `validate_payment` | 정확히 일치 | `validate_payment`만 |
+
+### 할당 우선순위
+
+1. **동적 할당** (`assign_from_input`): 구성된 경우 Flow 상태에서 이메일 가져옴
+2. **정적 이메일** (`assign_to_email`): 구성된 이메일로 대체
+3. **배포 생성자**: 규칙이 일치하지 않으면 배포 생성자의 이메일이 사용됨
+
+### 동적 할당 예제
+
+Flow 상태에 `{"sales_rep_email": "alice@company.com"}`이 포함된 경우:
+
+```json
+{
+  "name": "영업 담당자에게 라우팅",
+  "match": {
+    "method_name": "review_*"
+  },
+  "assign_from_input": "sales_rep_email"
+}
+```
+
+요청이 자동으로 `alice@company.com`에 할당됩니다.
+
+<Tip>
+**사용 사례**: CRM, 데이터베이스 또는 이전 Flow 단계에서 담당자를 가져와 적합한 사람에게 검토를 동적으로 라우팅하세요.
+</Tip>
+
+## 자동 응답
+
+시간 내에 인간이 응답하지 않으면 HITL 요청에 자동으로 응답합니다. 이를 통해 Flow가 무한정 중단되지 않도록 합니다.
+
+### 구성
+
+| 설정 | 설명 |
+|-----|------|
+| 활성화됨 | 자동 응답 활성화 토글 |
+| 타임아웃 (분) | 자동 응답 전 대기 시간 |
+| 기본 결과 | 응답 값 (`emit` 옵션과 일치해야 함) |
+
+<Frame>
+  <img src="/images/enterprise/hitl-settings-auto-respond.png" alt="HITL 자동 응답 구성" />
+</Frame>
+
+### 사용 사례
+
+- **SLA 준수**: Flow가 무한정 중단되지 않도록 보장
+- **기본 승인**: 타임아웃 후 저위험 요청 자동 승인
+- **우아한 저하**: 검토자가 없을 때 안전한 기본값으로 계속
+
+<Warning>
+자동 응답을 신중하게 사용하세요. 기본 응답이 허용되는 중요하지 않은 검토에만 활성화하세요.
+</Warning>
+
+## 검토 프로세스
+
+### 대시보드 인터페이스
+
+HITL 검토 인터페이스는 검토자에게 깔끔하고 집중된 경험을 제공합니다:
+
+- **마크다운 렌더링**: 구문 강조가 포함된 풍부한 형식의 검토 콘텐츠
+- **컨텍스트 패널**: Flow 상태, 실행 기록 및 관련 정보 보기
+- **피드백 입력**: 결정과 함께 상세한 피드백 및 코멘트 제공
+- **빠른 작업**: 선택적 코멘트가 있는 원클릭 emit 옵션 버튼
+
+<Frame>
+  <img src="/images/enterprise/hitl-list-pending-feedbacks.png" alt="HITL 대기 중인 요청 목록" />
+</Frame>
+
+### 응답 방법
+
+검토자는 세 가지 채널을 통해 응답할 수 있습니다:
+
+| 방법 | 설명 |
+|-----|------|
+| **이메일 회신** | 알림 이메일에 직접 회신 |
+| **대시보드** | Enterprise 대시보드 UI 사용 |
+| **API/Webhook** | API를 통한 프로그래밍 방식 응답 |
+
+### 기록 및 감사 추적
+
+모든 HITL 상호작용은 완전한 타임라인으로 추적됩니다:
+
+- 결정 기록 (승인/거부/수정)
+- 검토자 신원 및 타임스탬프
+- 제공된 피드백 및 코멘트
+- 응답 방법 (이메일/대시보드/API)

+- 자동화된 결정 시스템
+
+<Frame>
+  <img src="/images/enterprise/hitl-settings-webhook.png" alt="HITL Webhook 구성" />
+</Frame>
+
+### Webhook 구성
+
+<Steps>
+  <Step title="설정으로 이동">
+    **배포** → **설정** → **Human in the Loop**으로 이동
+  </Step>
+  <Step title="Webhook 섹션 확장">
+    **Webhooks** 구성을 클릭하여 확장
+  </Step>
+  <Step title="Webhook URL 추가">
+    webhook URL 입력 (프로덕션에서는 HTTPS 필수)
+  </Step>
+  <Step title="구성 저장">
+    **구성 저장**을 클릭하여 활성화
+  </Step>
+</Steps>
+
+여러 webhook을 구성할 수 있습니다. 각 활성 webhook은 모든 HITL 이벤트를 수신합니다.
+
+### Webhook 이벤트
+
+엔드포인트는 다음 이벤트에 대해 HTTP POST 요청을 수신합니다:
+
+| 이벤트 유형 | 트리거 시점 |
+|------------|------------|
+| `new_request` | Flow가 일시 중지되고 인간 피드백을 요청할 때 |
+
+### Webhook 페이로드
+
+모든 webhook은 다음 구조의 JSON 페이로드를 수신합니다:
+
+```json
+{
+  "event": "new_request",
+  "request": {
+    "id": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000",
+    "flow_id": "flow_abc123",
+    "method_name": "review_article",
+    "message": "이 기사의 게시를 검토해 주세요.",
+    "emit_options": ["approved", "rejected", "request_changes"],
+    "state": {
+      "article_id": 12345,
+      "author": "john@example.com",
+      "category": "technology"
+    },
+    "metadata": {},
+    "created_at": "2026-01-14T12:00:00Z"
+  },
+  "deployment": {
+    "id": 456,
+    "name": "Content Review Flow",
+    "organization_id": 789
+  },
+  "callback_url": "https://api.crewai.com/...",
+  "assigned_to_email": "reviewer@company.com"
+}
+```
+
+### 요청에 응답하기
+
+피드백을 제출하려면 webhook 페이로드에 포함된 **`callback_url`로 POST**합니다.
+
+```http
+POST {callback_url}
+Content-Type: application/json
+
+{
+  "feedback": "승인됨. 훌륭한 기사입니다!",
+  "source": "my_custom_app"
+}
+```
+
+### 보안
+
+<Info>
+모든 webhook 요청은 HMAC-SHA256을 사용하여 암호화 서명되어 진위성을 보장하고 변조를 방지합니다.
+</Info>
+
+#### Webhook 보안
+
+- **HMAC-SHA256 서명**: 모든 webhook에 암호화 서명이 포함됨
+- **Webhook별 시크릿**: 각 webhook은 고유한 서명 시크릿을 가짐
+- **저장 시 암호화**: 서명 시크릿은 데이터베이스에서 암호화됨
+- **타임스탬프 검증**: 리플레이 공격 방지
+
+#### 서명 헤더
+
+각 webhook 요청에는 다음 헤더가 포함됩니다:
+
+| 헤더 | 설명 |
+|------|------|
+| `X-Signature` | HMAC-SHA256 서명: `sha256=<hex_digest>` |
+| `X-Timestamp` | 요청이 서명된 Unix 타임스탬프 |
+
+#### 검증
+
+다음과 같이 계산하여 검증합니다:
+
+```python
+import hmac
+import hashlib
+
+expected = hmac.new(
+    signing_secret.encode(),
+    f"{timestamp}.{payload}".encode(),
+    hashlib.sha256
+).hexdigest()
+
+if hmac.compare_digest(expected, signature):
+    # 유효한 서명
+```
+
+### 오류 처리
+
+webhook 엔드포인트는 수신 확인을 위해 2xx 상태 코드를 반환해야 합니다:
+
+| 응답 | 동작 |
+|------|------|
+| 2xx | Webhook 성공적으로 전달됨 |
+| 4xx/5xx | 실패로 기록됨, 재시도 없음 |
+| 타임아웃 (30초) | 실패로 기록됨, 재시도 없음 |
+
+## 보안 및 RBAC
+
+### 대시보드 접근
+
+HITL 접근은 배포 수준에서 제어됩니다:
+
+| 권한 | 기능 |
+|-----|------|
+| `manage_human_feedback` | HITL 설정 구성, 모든 요청 보기 |
+| `respond_to_human_feedback` | 요청에 응답, 할당된 요청 보기 |
+
+### 이메일 응답 인증
+
+이메일 회신의 경우:
+1. reply-to 토큰이 인증된 이메일을 인코딩
+2. 발신자 이메일이 토큰의 이메일과 일치해야 함
+3. 토큰이 만료되지 않아야 함 (기본 7일)
+4. 요청이 여전히 대기 중이어야 함
+
+### 감사 추적
+
+모든 HITL 작업이 기록됩니다:
+- 요청 생성
+- 할당 변경
+- 응답 제출 (소스: 대시보드/이메일/API)
+- Flow 재개 상태
+
+## 문제 해결
+
+### 이메일이 전송되지 않음
+
+1. 구성에서 "이메일 알림"이 활성화되어 있는지 확인
+2. 라우팅 규칙이 메서드 이름과 일치하는지 확인
+3. 담당자 이메일이 유효한지 확인
+4. 라우팅 규칙이 일치하지 않는 경우 배포 생성자 대체 확인
+
+### 이메일 회신이 처리되지 않음
+
+1. 토큰이 만료되지 않았는지 확인 (기본 7일)
+2. 발신자 이메일이 할당된 이메일과 일치하는지 확인
+3. 요청이 여전히 대기 중인지 확인 (아직 응답되지 않음)
+
+### Flow가 재개되지 않음
+
+1. 대시보드에서 요청 상태 확인
+2. 콜백 URL에 접근 가능한지 확인
+3. 배포가 여전히 실행 중인지 확인
+
+## 모범 사례
+
+<Tip>
+**간단하게 시작**: 배포 생성자에게 이메일 알림으로 시작한 다음, 워크플로우가 성숙해지면 라우팅 규칙을 추가하세요.
+</Tip>
+
+1. **동적 할당 사용**: 유연한 라우팅을 위해 Flow 상태에서 담당자 이메일을 가져오세요.
+
+2. **자동 응답 구성**: 중요하지 않은 검토에 대해 Flow가 중단되지 않도록 대체를 설정하세요.
+
+3. **응답 시간 모니터링**: 분석을 사용하여 병목 현상을 식별하고 검토 프로세스를 최적화하세요.
+
+4. **검토 메시지를 명확하게 유지**: `@human_feedback` 데코레이터에 명확하고 실행 가능한 메시지를 작성하세요.
+
+5. **이메일 흐름 테스트**: 프로덕션에 가기 전에 테스트 요청을 보내 이메일 전달을 확인하세요.

+title: "Gerenciamento HITL para Flows"
+description: "Revisão humana de nível empresarial para Flows com notificações por email, regras de roteamento e capacidades de resposta automática"
+icon: "users-gear"
+mode: "wide"
+---
+
+<Note>
+Os recursos de gerenciamento HITL para Flows requerem o decorador `@human_feedback`, disponível no **CrewAI versão 1.8.0 ou superior**. Estes recursos aplicam-se especificamente a **Flows**, não a Crews.
+</Note>
+
+O CrewAI Enterprise oferece um sistema abrangente de gerenciamento Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) para Flows que transforma fluxos de trabalho de IA em processos colaborativos humano-IA. A plataforma usa uma **arquitetura email-first** que permite que qualquer pessoa com um endereço de email responda a solicitações de revisão—sem necessidade de conta na plataforma.
+
+## Visão Geral
+
+<CardGroup cols={3}>
+  <Card title="Design Email-First" icon="envelope">
+    Respondentes podem responder diretamente aos emails de notificação para fornecer feedback
+  </Card>
+  <Card title="Roteamento Flexível" icon="route">
+    Direcione solicitações para emails específicos com base em padrões de método ou estado do flow
+  </Card>
+  <Card title="Resposta Automática" icon="clock">
+    Configure respostas automáticas de fallback quando nenhum humano responder a tempo
+  </Card>
+</CardGroup>
+
+### Principais Benefícios
+
+- **Modelo mental simples**: Endereços de email são universais; não é necessário gerenciar usuários ou funções da plataforma
+- **Respondentes externos**: Qualquer pessoa com email pode responder, mesmo não sendo usuário da plataforma
+- **Atribuição dinâmica**: Obtenha o email do responsável diretamente do estado do flow (ex: `sales_rep_email`)
+- **Configuração reduzida**: Menos configurações para definir, tempo mais rápido para gerar valor
+- **Email como canal principal**: A maioria dos usuários prefere responder via email do que fazer login em um dashboard
+
+## Configurando Pontos de Revisão Humana em Flows
+
+Configure checkpoints de revisão humana em seus Flows usando o decorador `@human_feedback`. Quando a execução atinge um ponto de revisão, o sistema pausa, notifica o responsável via email e aguarda uma resposta.
+
+```python
+from crewai.flow.flow import Flow, start, listen
+from crewai.flow.human_feedback import human_feedback, HumanFeedbackResult
+
+class ContentApprovalFlow(Flow):
+    @start()
+    def generate_content(self):
+        # IA gera conteúdo
+        return "Texto de marketing gerado para campanha Q1..."
+
+    @listen(generate_content)
+    @human_feedback(
+        message="Por favor, revise este conteúdo para conformidade com a marca:",
+        emit=["approved", "rejected", "needs_revision"],
+    )
+    def review_content(self, content):
+        return content
+
+    @listen("approved")
+    def publish_content(self, result: HumanFeedbackResult):
+        print(f"Publicando conteúdo aprovado. Notas do revisor: {result.feedback}")
+
+    @listen("rejected")
+    def archive_content(self, result: HumanFeedbackResult):
+        print(f"Conteúdo rejeitado. Motivo: {result.feedback}")
+
+    @listen("needs_revision")
+    def revise_content(self, result: HumanFeedbackResult):
+        print(f"Revisão solicitada: {result.feedback}")
+```
+
+Para detalhes completos de implementação, consulte o guia [Feedback Humano em Flows](/pt-BR/learn/human-feedback-in-flows).
+
+### Parâmetros do Decorador
+
+| Parâmetro | Tipo | Descrição |
+|-----------|------|-----------|
+| `message` | `str` | A mensagem exibida para o revisor humano |
+| `emit` | `list[str]` | Opções de resposta válidas (exibidas como botões na UI) |
+
+## Configuração da Plataforma
+
+Acesse a configuração HITL em: **Deployment** → **Settings** → **Human in the Loop Configuration**
+
+<Frame>
+  <img src="/images/enterprise/hitl-settings-overview.png" alt="Configurações HITL" />
+</Frame>
+
+### Notificações por Email
+
+Toggle para ativar ou desativar notificações por email para solicitações HITL.
+
+| Configuração | Padrão | Descrição |
+|--------------|--------|-----------|
+| Notificações por Email | Ativado | Enviar emails quando feedback for solicitado |
+
+<Note>
+Quando desativado, os respondentes devem usar a UI do dashboard ou você deve configurar webhooks para sistemas de notificação personalizados.
+</Note>
+
+### Meta de SLA
+
+Defina um tempo de resposta alvo para fins de rastreamento e métricas.
+
+| Configuração | Descrição |
+|--------------|-----------|
+| Meta de SLA (minutos) | Tempo de resposta alvo. Usado para métricas do dashboard e rastreamento de SLA |
+
+Deixe vazio para desativar o rastreamento de SLA.
+
+## Notificações e Respostas por Email
+
+O sistema HITL usa uma arquitetura email-first onde os respondentes podem responder diretamente aos emails de notificação.
+
+### Como Funcionam as Respostas por Email
+
+<Steps>
+  <Step title="Notificação Enviada">
+    Quando uma solicitação HITL é criada, um email é enviado ao respondente atribuído com o conteúdo e contexto da revisão.
+  </Step>
+  <Step title="Endereço Reply-To">
+    O email inclui um endereço reply-to especial com um token assinado para autenticação.
+  </Step>
+  <Step title="Usuário Responde">
+    O respondente simplesmente responde ao email com seu feedback—nenhum login necessário.
+  </Step>
+  <Step title="Validação do Token">
+    A plataforma recebe a resposta, verifica o token assinado e corresponde o email do remetente.
+  </Step>
+  <Step title="Flow Continua">
+    O feedback é registrado e o flow continua com a entrada humana.
+  </Step>
+</Steps>
+
+### Formato de Resposta
+
+Respondentes podem responder com:
+
+- **Opção emit**: Se a resposta corresponder a uma opção `emit` (ex: "approved"), ela é usada diretamente
+- **Texto livre**: Qualquer resposta de texto é passada para o flow como feedback
+- **Texto simples**: A primeira linha do corpo da resposta é usada como feedback
+
+### Emails de Confirmação
+
+Após processar uma resposta, o respondente recebe um email de confirmação indicando se o feedback foi enviado com sucesso ou se ocorreu um erro.
+
+### Segurança do Token de Email
+
+- Tokens são assinados criptograficamente para segurança
+- Tokens expiram após 7 dias
+- Email do remetente deve corresponder ao email autorizado do token
+- Emails de confirmação/erro são enviados após o processamento
+
+## Regras de Roteamento
+
+Direcione solicitações HITL para endereços de email específicos com base em padrões de método.
+
+<Frame>
+  <img src="/images/enterprise/hitl-settings-routing-rules.png" alt="Configuração de Regras de Roteamento HITL" />
+</Frame>
+
+### Estrutura da Regra
+
+```json
+{
+  "name": "Aprovações para Financeiro",
+  "match": {
+    "method_name": "approve_*"
+  },
+  "assign_to_email": "financeiro@empresa.com",
+  "assign_from_input": "manager_email"
+}
+```
+
+### Padrões de Correspondência
+
+| Padrão | Descrição | Exemplo de Correspondência |
+|--------|-----------|---------------------------|
+| `approve_*` | Wildcard (qualquer caractere) | `approve_payment`, `approve_vendor` |
+| `review_?` | Caractere único | `review_a`, `review_1` |
+| `validate_payment` | Correspondência exata | apenas `validate_payment` |
+
+### Prioridade de Atribuição
+
+1. **Atribuição dinâmica** (`assign_from_input`): Se configurado, obtém email do estado do flow
+2. **Email estático** (`assign_to_email`): Fallback para email configurado
+3. **Criador do deployment**: Se nenhuma regra corresponder, o email do criador do deployment é usado
+
+### Exemplo de Atribuição Dinâmica
+
+Se seu estado do flow contém `{"sales_rep_email": "alice@empresa.com"}`, configure:
+
+```json
+{
+  "name": "Direcionar para Representante de Vendas",
+  "match": {
+    "method_name": "review_*"
+  },
+  "assign_from_input": "sales_rep_email"
+}
+```
+
+A solicitação será atribuída automaticamente para `alice@empresa.com`.
+
+<Tip>
+**Caso de Uso**: Obtenha o responsável do seu CRM, banco de dados ou etapa anterior do flow para direcionar revisões dinamicamente para a pessoa certa.
+</Tip>
+
+## Resposta Automática
+
+Responda automaticamente a solicitações HITL se nenhum humano responder dentro do timeout. Isso garante que os flows não fiquem travados indefinidamente.
+
+### Configuração
+
+| Configuração | Descrição |
+|--------------|-----------|
+| Ativado | Toggle para ativar resposta automática |
+| Timeout (minutos) | Tempo de espera antes de responder automaticamente |
+| Resultado Padrão | O valor da resposta (deve corresponder a uma opção `emit`) |
+
+<Frame>
+  <img src="/images/enterprise/hitl-settings-auto-respond.png" alt="Configuração de Resposta Automática HITL" />
+</Frame>
+
+### Casos de Uso
+
+- **Conformidade com SLA**: Garante que flows não fiquem travados indefinidamente
+- **Aprovação padrão**: Aprove automaticamente solicitações de baixo risco após timeout
+- **Degradação graciosa**: Continue com um padrão seguro quando revisores não estiverem disponíveis
+
+<Warning>
+Use resposta automática com cuidado. Ative apenas para revisões não críticas onde uma resposta padrão é aceitável.
+</Warning>
+
+## Processo de Revisão
+
+### Interface do Dashboard
+
+A interface de revisão HITL oferece uma experiência limpa e focada para revisores:
+
+- **Renderização Markdown**: Formatação rica para conteúdo de revisão com destaque de sintaxe
+- **Painel de Contexto**: Visualize estado do flow, histórico de execução e informações relacionadas
+- **Entrada de Feedback**: Forneça feedback detalhado e comentários com sua decisão
+- **Ações Rápidas**: Botões de opção emit com um clique com comentários opcionais
+
+<Frame>
+  <img src="/images/enterprise/hitl-list-pending-feedbacks.png" alt="Lista de Solicitações HITL Pendentes" />
+</Frame>
+
+### Métodos de Resposta
+
+Revisores podem responder por três canais:
+
+| Método | Descrição |
+|--------|-----------|
+| **Resposta por Email** | Responda diretamente ao email de notificação |
+| **Dashboard** | Use a UI do dashboard Enterprise |
+| **API/Webhook** | Resposta programática via API |
+
+### Histórico e Trilha de Auditoria
+
+Toda interação HITL é rastreada com uma linha do tempo completa:
+
+- Histórico de decisões (aprovar/rejeitar/revisar)
+- Identidade do revisor e timestamp
+- Feedback e comentários fornecidos
+- Método de resposta (email/dashboard/API)
+- Métricas de tempo de resposta

+
+## API de Webhooks
+
+Quando seus Flows pausam para feedback humano, você pode configurar webhooks para enviar dados da solicitação para sua própria aplicação. Isso permite:
+
+- Construir UIs de aprovação personalizadas
+- Integrar com ferramentas internas (Jira, ServiceNow, dashboards personalizados)
+- Rotear aprovações para sistemas de terceiros
+- Notificações em apps mobile
+- Sistemas de decisão automatizados
+
+<Frame>
+  <img src="/images/enterprise/hitl-settings-webhook.png" alt="Configuração de Webhook HITL" />
+</Frame>
+
+### Configurando Webhooks
+
+<Steps>
+  <Step title="Navegue até Configurações">
+    Vá para **Deployment** → **Settings** → **Human in the Loop**
+  </Step>
+  <Step title="Expanda a Seção Webhooks">
+    Clique para expandir a configuração de **Webhooks**
+  </Step>
+  <Step title="Adicione sua URL de Webhook">
+    Digite sua URL de webhook (deve ser HTTPS em produção)
+  </Step>
+  <Step title="Salve a Configuração">
+    Clique em **Salvar Configuração** para ativar
+  </Step>
+</Steps>
+
+Você pode configurar múltiplos webhooks. Cada webhook ativo recebe todos os eventos HITL.
+
+### Eventos de Webhook
+
+Seu endpoint receberá requisições HTTP POST para estes eventos:
+
+| Tipo de Evento | Quando é Disparado |
+|----------------|-------------------|
+| `new_request` | Um flow pausa e solicita feedback humano |
+
+### Payload do Webhook
+
+Todos os webhooks recebem um payload JSON com esta estrutura:
+
+```json
+{
+  "event": "new_request",
+  "request": {
+    "id": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000",
+    "flow_id": "flow_abc123",
+    "method_name": "review_article",
+    "message": "Por favor, revise este artigo para publicação.",
+    "emit_options": ["approved", "rejected", "request_changes"],
+    "state": {
+      "article_id": 12345,
+      "author": "john@example.com",
+      "category": "technology"
+    },
+    "metadata": {},
+    "created_at": "2026-01-14T12:00:00Z"
+  },
+  "deployment": {
+    "id": 456,
+    "name": "Content Review Flow",
+    "organization_id": 789
+  },
+  "callback_url": "https://api.crewai.com/...",
+  "assigned_to_email": "reviewer@company.com"
+}
+```
+
+### Respondendo a Solicitações
+
+Para enviar feedback, **faça POST para a `callback_url`** incluída no payload do webhook.
+
+```http
+POST {callback_url}
+Content-Type: application/json
+
+{
+  "feedback": "Aprovado. Ótimo artigo!",
+  "source": "my_custom_app"
+}
+```
+
+### Segurança
+
+<Info>
+Todas as requisições de webhook são assinadas criptograficamente usando HMAC-SHA256 para garantir autenticidade e prevenir adulteração.
+</Info>
+
+#### Segurança do Webhook
+
+- **Assinaturas HMAC-SHA256**: Todo webhook inclui uma assinatura criptográfica
+- **Secrets por webhook**: Cada webhook tem seu próprio secret de assinatura único
+- **Criptografado em repouso**: Os secrets de assinatura são criptografados no nosso banco de dados
+- **Verificação de timestamp**: Previne ataques de replay
+
+#### Headers de Assinatura
+
+Cada requisição de webhook inclui estes headers:
+
+| Header | Descrição |
+|--------|-----------|
+| `X-Signature` | Assinatura HMAC-SHA256: `sha256=<hex_digest>` |
+| `X-Timestamp` | Timestamp Unix de quando a requisição foi assinada |
+
+#### Verificação
+
+Verifique computando:
+
+```python
+import hmac
+import hashlib
+
+expected = hmac.new(
+    signing_secret.encode(),
+    f"{timestamp}.{payload}".encode(),
+    hashlib.sha256
+).hexdigest()
+
+if hmac.compare_digest(expected, signature):
+    # Assinatura válida
+```
+
+### Tratamento de Erros
+
+Seu endpoint de webhook deve retornar um código de status 2xx para confirmar o recebimento:
+
+| Sua Resposta | Nosso Comportamento |
+|--------------|---------------------|
+| 2xx | Webhook entregue com sucesso |
+| 4xx/5xx | Registrado como falha, sem retry |
+| Timeout (30s) | Registrado como falha, sem retry |
+
+## Segurança e RBAC
+
+### Acesso ao Dashboard
+
+O acesso HITL é controlado no nível do deployment:
+
+| Permissão | Capacidade |
+|-----------|------------|
+| `manage_human_feedback` | Configurar settings HITL, ver todas as solicitações |
+| `respond_to_human_feedback` | Responder a solicitações, ver solicitações atribuídas |
+
+### Autorização de Resposta por Email
+
+Para respostas por email:
+1. O token reply-to codifica o email autorizado
+2. Email do remetente deve corresponder ao email do token
+3. Token não deve estar expirado (padrão 7 dias)
+4. Solicitação ainda deve estar pendente
+
+### Trilha de Auditoria
+
+Todas as ações HITL são registradas:
+- Criação de solicitação
+- Mudanças de atribuição
+- Submissão de resposta (com fonte: dashboard/email/API)
+- Status de retomada do flow
+
+## Solução de Problemas
+
+### Emails Não Enviando
+
+1. Verifique se "Notificações por Email" está ativado na configuração
+2. Verifique se as regras de roteamento correspondem ao nome do método
+3. Verifique se o email do responsável é válido
+4. Verifique o fallback do criador do deployment se nenhuma regra de roteamento corresponder
+
+### Respostas de Email Não Processando
+
+1. Verifique se o token não expirou (padrão 7 dias)
+2. Verifique se o email do remetente corresponde ao email atribuído
+3. Garanta que a solicitação ainda está pendente (não respondida ainda)
+
+### Flow Não Retomando
+
+1. Verifique o status da solicitação no dashboard
+2. Verifique se a URL de callback está acessível
+3. Garanta que o deployment ainda está rodando
+
+## Melhores Práticas
+
+<Tip>
+**Comece Simples**: Comece com notificações por email para o criador do deployment, depois adicione regras de roteamento conforme seus fluxos de trabalho amadurecem.
+</Tip>
+
+1. **Use Atribuição Dinâmica**: Obtenha emails de responsáveis do seu estado do flow para roteamento flexível.
+
+2. **Configure Resposta Automática**: Defina um fallback para revisões não críticas para evitar que flows fiquem travados.
+
+3. **Monitore Tempos de Resposta**: Use análises para identificar gargalos e otimizar seu processo de revisão.
+
+4. **Mantenha Mensagens de Revisão Claras**: Escreva mensagens claras e acionáveis no decorador `@human_feedback`.
+
+5. **Teste o Fluxo de Email**: Envie solicitações de teste para verificar a entrega de email antes de ir para produção.
