Approvals with empty groups

[gunishi]

Hi there, 

A bit more of a general question. If there is an approval required from a group, but the group currently does not have any members, does this approval then go to Manager of the group? If not, who does the approval go to? Also, what effect does this have on the flow if the approval doesn't go anywhere?

I hope the question makes sense; thanks in advance for your help.

Kind regards, 

G

In such case the approval will be skipped and will not be sent to group manager OOB.

How can we capture if approval missing approvers? In our case, business wants to create an incident & end the flow with error if the approver is missing. This is specific to flows.

Found it, the approval state is marked as "skipped" when approvers are missing. I am using if condition to check output state of the approval & creating incident on skipped approvals.
