How to call a System Property for Approval Group from Flow Designer?

[Hari S1]

Hi,

I have created a Flow Designer, and in this flow, I have added an action called Ask for Approval. In the approval action, I need to add an approval group. Currently, the approval group is configured manually, but I want to dynamically pull the approval group from a system property.

How can I reference and use a system property in Flow Designer?

Thanks

You could add a look up record step prior to your Ask for Approval step to fetch the property value. This wouldn't leverage the property being cached.

Decision Builder is a better solution for storing approval groups than system properties. 

However, if you want to continue on your current solution, check out @Lisa Holenstein's blog on scripted approval syntax: Scripted Approvals in Flow Designer with Flow Variables

Hello @Hari S1 

Please use Look Up record before this step and fetch the value of property where you have stored the approval group. 

Now in the ask for approval step leverage this value obtained in previous step. 

Kindly mark my answer as helpful and accept solution if it helped you in anyway,

Hi @Shivalika ,

I tried the same, but I am unable to add or drag any values from the data pills for approval (highlighted in the image below).

Hi @Hari S1 ,

Add one more lookup record action. this time to lookup the group record. and use that action's data pill to select the group on ask for approval
