How to move action to next step from "Ask for approval" action

Hi All,

 

Is there a way to find where the Ask for Approval action stores its status/value? I would like to move the Flow from the "Ask for Approval" action to the next action using a script.

Do we have any way to achieve this?

Note: I do not want to approve or reject anything from the Approval table. Instead, I want to directly complete/approve the Ask for Approval action itself through a script so that the Flow can continue to the next step.

Hi @ramesh_r 

 

Check this article: Flow Designer - Use "Ask for Approval" like Group Approval in Workflow

If you are looking for Scripted approval instead of "Ask for  Approval ".

Hi @ramesh_r 

can you use background script to achieve this , without manually opening the sysapproval_approver table.I tried it is working.Use the sys_id of the CHG0000082
