Is a wait for condition of approval = approved required when using the Ask for Approval action?

Flow designer question.

Is a wait for condition of approval = approved required when using the Ask for Approval action?

I seem to have differing results on whether needed or not.

Following the approval action is If flow logic for rejection.

Will the system automatically wait for approval to be approved before continuing the flow actions?

Thanks for your time,

Lon

Hi @Lon Landry4 

Every Ask for Approval action needs an Approve rule and a Reject rule or an Approve or Reject rule to ensure that the action returns the expected Approval State.
