step 10&11: I am executing parallelly "Ask for approval"  and update its state as "No longer required"  for that i have  create approval record with passing group record reference  and assign to one of the group as bellow.

and parallelly applying logic due to some additional logic related to reminder, to get approval record which created in step 10&11 using "look up records" action as below:

And check it, if approval is not approve or reject by approver then approval "state" should be update as "No longer required".

Hi @rmaroti ,

In Ask for Approval action there is a checkbox type field called wait .
if you make it true then flow will wait until the states are closed complete or Closed Incomplete .

So Here in your scenario you can use  action Wait for Condition and write in it condition as state changes to not yet requested , closed completed and closed incomplete.
so whenever the states are one of them from three states mentioned above then you flow will move forward.

also make wait field false

If you find it helpful then thumbs up it !!

Hello @rmaroti ,

 

I would suggest that you use the "Due date" in your "Ask for approval" action to automatically reject or cancel the approval after 10 days.

Then you won't need actions 19 to 24.
