regarding flow designer

shreya_3009 — Wed, 01 Oct 2025 15:27:10 GMT

my task is to edit the flow designer, where if the requestor is president then the approvals should reduce to 2(hr and manager).In the present flow when someone raises a request, it goest to hr first then manager and then managers manager.so basically if president raises a request first level hr should remain same and then it should go to manager (no managers manager approval is required). In the flow, approval set is present in the approval section.how can i complete my task?how can i add the conditions?or should i change any code?

Hi @shreya_3009 ,

Open your flow in Flow Designer.

Find the approval step where it asks Manager’s Manager for approval.

Edit that step, and add a condition that says:
Only run this step if the requester is NOT the President.

How to set the condition?
Look for something like:
Requester’s job title is not “President”

(If you don’t see “Requester’s title,” you might have to look for something like requested_for.title or opened_by.title in the options.)

Save your flow.

Hi @shreya_3009 ,

Could you provide some more details about approval set? Is this a custom action or subflow?

Thanks

Is it possible for you to remove the existing Approval Set from your flow.

Instead, add these as separate "Ask for approval" actions (or individual approval actions), one after another in your flow:

HR approval

Manager approval

Manager’s Manager approval

Hi @shreya_3009 ,

You need to modify the subflow script to bypass approvals based on your specified conditions. However, before making any changes, ensure that this subflow isn't being used in other flows, as that could affect their execution. If it is, create a copy of the subflow, apply your changes to the new version, and use that updated subflow instead.

Thanks
