Scripting in Ask For Approval Step of Flow

[saint]

Hi Peeps and Experts,

I have a requirement where requested for manager recieves an apporval after form submission. After certain time, and if the request is still not approved, i want to add an additional approval to manager's manager, while keeping the original approval intact, so either manager or senior manager can go ahead and approve it.

I'm stuck at how should i  script the ask for approval in the process. Let me know if more details are needed.

Hi @saint ,

You can do most suitable way using flow designer, for appropriate trigger conditions.

 These steps can help you to design in fd.

• First Ask for Approval goes to requested_for.manager.

• Wait (24/48 hours).

• If still pending, create a second approval for requested_for.manager.manager.

• Configure both approvals so completion of either one completes the task, not cancels the other.

Also consider that manager is active or not.

Check out the below posts to set approval in fd
