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

Sriharsha3 · ‎02-04-2021

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.

Mark the comment as a correct answer and helpful if this helps to solve the problem.

I was looking to do it without IF condition. This is because i have 20+ steps( actions/flow logic) after ask for approval. By using If condition, i may need to create these steps again without approval. It is duplicating of steps again which i need to minimize.

I have to see your flow . but you can try to put if condition above the approval start. Give a try an let us know.
