Flow Designer Question - How to call 2nd approval only if first approval is approved.

[gnewuser]

I am a new flow designer user and bear with me on a simple question.    First approval is to a group. If they reject it sends notification to the author. If first approval is approved, it goes to manager approval . Seems very simple but I think I may have messed up the if condition and how to call the second only on approval of first.  If there is a good example that I can refer to?

Hi gnewuser,

You need to move your 'IF' statement to between your approvals. If the flow needs to end if it has been rejected you should also add End Flow after the notification is sent.

To ensure that if it is approved you could also add and 'ELSE' for if it is approved then follow the flow after that.

(Please excuse my horrible writing. I am left handed but use a mouse right handed, so I can never write very well on snips. But I hope that this helps you make sense of what I am saying above a little bit.)

Personally I would complete it the other way and do a "IF Approved" ask for the second approval with the additional steps and then do the "ELSE if rejected' for group approval then send the notification and end the flow.

There are other things that can be used to ensure that you have approval or not if this is a requirement. However the If and Else should suffice.

I hope that this helps you out. Please let me know if you need more information.

Hi @gnewuser ,

Follow the below steps, after adding ask for approval, add IF condition and check if the approved. Within if condition add your second "ask for approval"  followed by IF condition.

Mark if Correct/Helpful
