How to submit approval via an ATF?

We have created a Record Producer that captures information from end-users.  When the record is submitted, it triggers a Flow that requests Approval.  

I am trying to create an Automated Test that does the following:

  • Opens the Record Producer
  • Populates the variables
  • Submits the Record Producer
  • Impersonates the Approver
  • Locates the Approval record
  • Approves the Request

However, my test fails when trying to locate the approval record.  I am querying the sysapproval_approver table, but the test does not seem to trigger the "ask for approval" step in the flow.

Can anyone please provide guidance?

Hi Jenny,

You can try using these combination for querying the approval record:

Approval for = {{Step 6: Record Query.First record}}
and Approver = {{Step 7: Impersonate.User}}

As a side note, If the approver belongs to a specific group or any other relation like a manager then better to either create those users or query them instead of hardcoding them in impersonate step.

Thanks,
