We want to add the functionality to auto approve the approvals if the approver is same as "requested for". and this has to be implemented in flow designer. we have the action to "ask for approvals" from there we will get the approvals attached to the submitted requested items. after that we have to check if the requested for is same as manager(a variable in catalog item) then the attached approvals has to auto approve. Can some one please help me what needs to be done.

By updating the reference of course. 😀

Probably the reference no longer exist, or has a different number if you have added/removed actions.
So the text that reads:  fd_data._20_get_catalog_variables... need to be updated to the correct action number.

You can set rules in Ask for Approval activity.

Hi,

You will need to evaluate if the flow should go into the approval or not, using an IF flow logic.

Something like below:

Thanks OlaN,

how can we set the approvals to approved if condition pass and other approvals to no longer required if any other approvers attached along with him

And when i try to save the flow designer after making changes it is not activating and throwing some error like below

By not calling the Ask for approval action, in those cases where it applies you can avoid the approval entirely, that's how I would configure it.

As soon as you go into the Ask for approval action, you will need to wait for it to be completed before the Flow continues on.
