Parallel Approval in Flow Designer

[Shikha Thakur2]

I have three variables:

1. Requested for(reference) referring to user table.

2. Type of request(select box) with options Add/Remove/Modify

3. Groups to be added(list collector) referring to group table.

If the type of request is new, it would check if opened by is not the selected groups' manager and his department is IT. If yes, then a parallel approval should trigger to the groups' manager selected in the list collector field. Suppose, we have selected three groups then the approval to go to three managers at the same.

I am not able to do so. The approvals are triggering one after another and not simultaneously. Please help!

Hello @Shikha Thakur2 ,

What I found is parallel approval is not possible in Flow designer.

Please refer below knowledge article from SeviceNow.

Try using changing position of the steps and remove unwanted steps:

remove 1st for each if it is same as 3rd and only add "Ask for approval" in for each loop means below it. Remove all other unwanted steps and check it. If it is working fine then good but if not then instead of  for each loop add parallel activity to the "Ask for approval" activity.

If it is not helpful then please add images of the executions of the flow including required activities so, i will able to help you.

If my answer helped you in any way, please then mark it as helpful and accept it.

Thank You in advance!!
