Get Sys ID of Approval Record Generated From Approval - User Activity

[codedude]

I have an approval user activity in my workflow. I am dynamically generating the approvers in the additional approver script. I am trying to get the sys_id of each approval record that is generated as it is generated via the script and storing it else where (weird I know). I will post my script below and place comments where I am thinking this should be executed.

var answer = [];
var sys_ids = [];
var grReqItem = new GlideRecord('sc_req_item'); 
grReqItem.addQuery('request',current.sys_id); 
grReqItem.query(); 
while(grReqItem.next())
{
   var selectedZones = grReqItem.variable_pool.zone_access.toString();
   var individualZones = selectedZones.split(",");
   for(var i = 0; i < individualZones.length; i++)
   {
             var grZoneManager = new GlideRecord('zones');
             grZoneManager.addQuery('sys_id', individualZones[i]);
             grZoneManager.query();
             while(grZoneManager.next())
             {
                       answer.push(grZoneManager.u_primary_zone_manager);
                       //I think it should be done here
                       sys_ids.push(/*Push the sys ids of the approval record that was just pushed on the line above*/)
             }
   }
}

What is the requirement here?

Turns out the approval record is not created until the entire activity is finished. So I had to add a timer for that runs the same time as the approval activity and then add a run script to capture the sys_id.

Hello,

Can you please let me know how to get approval sys_id in the next run script activity? Is it again by querying the Approvals table? But how to get exact approval sys_id which was generated in previous activity?

Quick response will be much appreciated
