Can we add Workflow Activity to an 'Ask for Approval' action in Flow designer?

[Community Alums]

We are triggering RITM approvals using flow designer and want to populate 'workflow activity' field to identify which application's approval is being triggered

We are triggering approvals using 'Ask for approval' action where there is no field or option to map 'workflow activity' field.

In workflows, that is implemented as soon as we use any approval activity but in flow designer is there any way to do that?

Hi Srishti, 

You could add an "Update record" action directly after and pipe through whichever value you want to it? 

Kind regards,

Brad

The 'Update record' is taking Table as RITM and fields related to it as my flow is running on ritm table
If I change the 'Table' to Approval table then what should I give in 'Record' ?
Please suggest

If you want to update the "Workflow Activity" field on the RITM:

1. Record: <the Requested Item Record from your trigger>
2. Table: [sc_req_item]
3. Fields: Workflow Activity
   

If you want to update the "Workflow Activity" on the Approval:

1. Record: <the approval record from your approval step>
2. Table: [sysapproval_approver]
3. Fields: Workflow Activity

'Workflow activity' is a field on 'Approval' table
and I am not able to select approval record on 'Update Record' action in flow designer
Please let me know if I can make any other changes
