Hello @Shreya Nagar ,

You can have the if activity along with run script activty. Please find the below code

If Activity

answer = ifScript();

function ifScript(){

if(current.request.opened_by == current.request.requested_for)

return 'yes';

else

return 'no';

}

Output of Yes to Run Script:

Run Script Below:

var gr = new GlideRecord('sysapproval_approver');

gr.initialize();

gr.sysapproval = current.sys_id;

gr.state = 'approved';

gr.approver = current.request.requested_for;

gr.comments = 'Auto approved';

gr.insert();

One of the ways to achieve this is using Approval Action workflow activity.

After workflow activity, create a Run Script to evaluate if the caller is same as the approver, store the answer in scratchpad and based upon it utilize Approval Action activity.
