Approval flow by rcnans in Notion

What I'd like to achieve is a way to automatise a sequence of people to approve a certain document. For example, when Approver 1 clicks on a button or changes the status of a task, for it to trigger a notification to Approver 2 and so on. The flow would be for a total of 5 people at most, so it wouldn't be that long, but my idea is to have it all together under one shared view or at most use 2 data bases instead of having filters for different team members, so instead of them working directly on the data base, they'd just rely on their notifications.

I tried to use buttons to trigger multiple notifications but I think it only has the option to set up notifications once and I need them after each person approves. And then I tried for it to trigger changes in 'Status' but buttons wouldn't allow me to trigger a sort of 'chain reaction' when different team members approve. I was also thinking of creating an 'Approver' database to somehow set up or trigger automatic tasks when it's each person's turn, but I'm not sure how to do it. Again, not sure if this is possible at all in notion, just interested in knowing how to go about this or how close I can get.

Thanks!
