Hi Team,

I have a requirement wherein I have to create approval for a record created on custom table . This custom table does not extend task table.

Can you tell how to achieve this using Flow Designer?

Hi @Community Alums ,

Approval engine will work on only those tables which extend task tables.

Even if you create similar fields which are used for approval logic still it will not work.

As a custom solution,

You can create custom  UI actions on your custom table which resembles approve or reject, in UI action script you can set the state values according to Approve or reject, these values you can use in your flow designer conditions to proceed further.

If this solves your question, please mark as correct/helpful

Best Regards,
