Flow Designer and scripting Ask for Approval

[david_legrand]

Hi community,

Has anyone tried to use the "scripted rules" on the Ask for approval? Because my flow won't be as simple as "take a user in a predefined field"...

I can't find what the rule is expecting 😕

Hi David, 

Have you figured out how to script for Ask for approval action to get the approvers using the script?

I have a requirement to pull the approvers from a custom table and not sure how to script in the ask for approval action. 

Thank you.

In case this helps someone, I think you need to test the flow and look at the Runtime Value to determine what needs to be returned by the script. In my example below,

Here's the script I used:

When I tested this, it created sys_approval records for the users with those sys_ids.
