How to skip Ask for approval action based on condition in Flow designer

[Sriharsha3]

Hello

Im configuring a flow with some actions after appoval. I need to skip this approval if the requester is manger/ director etc. How can i add this on ask for approval action to skip and then perform action.

This can be done by an if condition, but it is duplicate work and needed a solution to fix this.

Thanks

Ah okay.

Then why don't you create an after insert BR on sysapproval table and there you check 

the requested for is manager/director, if yes change the state to no longer required.

This way the control moves further.

Thanks, This should work. However, after creation of approval, it will trigger a notification which should not be triggered. I was thinking to skip creating it without an IF condition. Now, i think i will go back creating IF as earlier.

yes, that is the better solution if you want to avoid triggering notification itself.
