Every app in Your apps has a status badge. If you share the app, it also has a role badge. This page explains each status, how you hear about a decision, and what approval unlocks.

Statuses

Badge	Meaning	What you can do
Pending review	The submission is with the Triple Whale team. The list shows Waiting for the Triple Whale team to review your submission.	View the submitted details and manage members.
Approved	The app has an OAuth client. The list shows `client_id <id>`.	Generate the client secret, use the quick start and Playground, edit the app, and invite members.
In review	The app is approved and live, and a scope change request is waiting. The list shows Change request waiting for review.	Everything an approved app can do, except submit another change.
Declined	The submission was not approved. The list shows the reviewer's reason, or This submission was declined.	Read the reason on the detail page. Submit a new app if you need to try again.

How You Hear About a Decision

The detail page updates as soon as a decision is made. The Activity tab records it, including the reviewer's note when there is one. See Activity Log.
The submitter is emailed when the app is submitted and when a decision is made. The same emails are sent for scope change requests.

What Approval Unlocks

When an app is approved:

It receives a client_id, shown on the app card and under Credentials.
The Credentials and Playground tabs appear.
The Settings tab changes from a read-only summary into editable cards.
A Generate your client secret card (badge Required) appears at the top of Settings until a secret exists. The card explains that the app cannot complete an OAuth flow yet, because the token endpoint rejects it without a secret.

❗️
An Approved App Is Not Usable Until You Generate a Secret
Approval creates the client. Triple Whale never issues the secret for you. Generate it in the portal. It is shown once. See Managing Your Client Secret.

A Declined App

The detail page shows This app was declined with the reviewer's reason, or Contact the Triple Whale team if you would like to know more when no reason was recorded. A declined app cannot be edited or resubmitted in place. Fix the issue and submit a new app.

A Rejected Change Request

Rejecting a scope change does not change the live app. The page says that if the request is rejected, the app keeps what it has today. The rejection and its reason are added to the Activity tab.
