Workflow with approval from two different groups?

[Jared Wason]

Hi, I have a workflow where it needs to be approved by one group, then I want to add some comments to the RITM via a script, then have another approval by a different group. However when I tried using the 'Approval - Group' activity for both groups it would automatically approve both after the first one was approved. I was able to get it to work if I first used an 'Approval - User' activity then the 'Approval - Group'. However when I try to use 'Approval - User' then a 'Run Script' activity, then a 'Approval - Group', it auto approves the user and group after the first is approved. Any ideas how to get the functionality I am looking for?

Hi Jared,

After first approval add Timer for a minute before second approval, im also faced this issue Timer helped me to resolve this.

I have two separate groups where the approval is sent. Both groups appear to receive approval request at the same time.

I want to send approval request to second group only after one of the members from the first group has approved.

How can this be done as timer won't help in this case. Thanks.

Can you share a screen shot of your workflow?
