Help with Approval Request on a workflow

[Jen11]

Hello,

I have a catalog item with a field 'Existing Approver' and 'New Approver'

The workflow is as follows:

Approval request to the Requested for manager > Existing Approver and New Approver to approve: 

What I am trying to do is:  Skip New Approval request if the Requested for manager and New Approval are same user.

And Skip Existing Approval if Requested for manager and Existing Approval are the same user.

Please help on how I can achieve this.

Thank you,

[Guilherme Cruz]

Hello @Jen11 

Have you ever thought about having an advanced if step to check the user entered in your approver fields and from there decide which approval model to follow or disregard according to the return from your if activity?
