Flow Ask for approval need to create approval only for some users in the approval group

[Eli7]

Hi All,

I have an approval group with a number of members for different companies within the parent organisation. When a user from company A submits a request an approval is created and a notification is triggered to all members of the approval group.

I would like to only create approval records for the approval group members that are in the same company as requester

Is there a way to accomplish this?

Appreciate any recommendations.

Hello @Eli7, You can create a custom Flow Action and place before Ask for Approval activity in Flow, which will take Approval Group and Requested for as an Input.

Custom Action Configuration:

Create 2 input Variable as below:

- Add a Script Step and create 2 input variable for step, then map Input variable of Action to Step Input Variable.

- in the Script body, write a script to get users from the selected group where Requested for company matches.

- Create an output variable and pass user sys_id array as highlighted below.

- Create a List type Action output variable and map Step Output to Action Output variable

Drag and drop output of Action to Ask for Approval approvers field.
