I need to create a business rule to auto approve a RITM

[Vijayenthiran S]

Hi All,

I want to auto-approve an approval task if the approver is also the Requestor.

For example, if the workflow has opened_by manager approval, and now the Manager is submitting a request on behalf of a team member, the RITM should be auto-approved.

Hi @Vijayenthiran S 

Below script should work or could be adapted to your use case. But please keep in mind, approvals are there for a reason. So only do this for example if the approver requests something for someone else, but not for himself.

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/) {
var user = current.opened_by.toString();

    var gr = new GlideRecord('sysapproval_approver');
gr.addQuery('document_id',current.sys_id);
gr.addQuery('approver', user);
gr.addQuery('state', 'requested');
gr.query();

if (gr.next()) {

    gr.state = 'approved';
    gr.comments = 'Automagically approved as approver and requestor is the same';
    gr.update();

}
})(current, previous);

Hi Peter,

I tried this but it is not working as expected. In my case, the opened_by and the approver are the same person. But the approval is not auto approving.

Hi @Vijayenthiran S,

I think your condition will not work. Try it without a condition first to see if the script works.
