Is there a way to Skip approval if opened by or requested for title contains director or president in flow designer?

In the workflows, we have a IF conditions and we added a script but I cannot figure it out in flow designer. 

 

How can this be achieved in flow designers?

I was able to achieve it via the subflow.

That "hard skipping" is a bad business ever! Instead, you check if requestor/requested for has higher position than the potential approver!

Hello @Th_i Ho_ng

Here we used the VIP flag at user table, few titles are VIP, so if requester is VIP, no need to approve.

 

yea, we do not have VIP roles assigned to every user in the management unfortunelty. it will make it if we had all management as VIP.

You could use a Decision Table in your Flow to more easily manage which Titles should allow skipping of approvals and which ones should not (the "not" can be the default answer if nothing else matches).

Then you can update those title conditions whenever you need without having to touch the flow/creating new versions.

Still would be better if you have some VIP flag at the User or Group level to go with.
