How to simulate Approval Coordinator in Flow Designer?

How can I create the same functionality as an Approval Coordinator in Workflow Editor? My key issue is that I need to run multiple individual or group approvals in parallel. In Flow Designer, if I try to create parallel approval activities, the functionality is not the same because any one approval then triggers the others getting marked as "No longer needed".

That is depends on what you have selected in 'Approval Rule'. As you have selected 'Anyone approves', it set 'No longer required' for other pending approvals once any one from the list approve it.

Based on you requirement you can select the option accordingly.

 

And i think almost same conditions are there in 'Wait for' of 'Approval coordinator' unless you are using 'Condition based on script'.

Hello Depeen,

I'm trying to perform a wait for condition for mannual approval but not able to see the options that you mentioned.

Just for community identity and recognition people bluff and go away. Stupidity at peaks!
