Flow designer: Update "Approval Type" Text

Abdul Khan4 · ‎02-27-2023

On Flow designer written on catalog item, we have a requirement to update Approval type based on assignment group the task goes to.

How can we achieve this without using separate flow designer for Approval table.

If you are talking about changing approver type based on Catalog Task assignment group. I would recommend you to follow these Steps

1. Create Task and Approvals in the flow itself.

2. As the attached image you need to use look up record action to query approval table.

3. in the condition use approval for->trigger-RITM.

4. After querying, you need to select Update record action, to update the approval type.

5. Follow the process like the below image.

Instead of setting comment field you can use your desired field.

there is actually 5 approval level.

the flow is

1. Request submitted.

2. 1st layer of approval trigger. Once approved..

3. ...2 Sc_task triggered in parallel.

4. each task once closed completed will trigger the 2nd and 3rd approval.

5. once 2nd and 3rd approval request are approved, 4th layer of approval request is triggered.

6. The 5th layer of approval is conditional depending on the one of the variable is True.

the 2nd & 3rd approval may trigger same time depending on how fast the assignee completes the task, should I put a condition to wait?

I also noticed that the 1st layer approver type sets as a default value even though I did not set any at all.

thanks!
