Possible to rejoin main path in flow designer?

William Busby

When using the flow designer I need to add several approvals which branch from the main path to gain approval based on different attributes of the requested item. Each of these branches has an approval action that creates a fulfillment task or a rejection notification. As a result I'm creating the exact same fulfillment task multiple times, the only difference being the assignment group. In the workflow editor I would have rejoined the flow back to the main branch and scripted the fulfillment group so I only had one catalog task or rejection notification action.

Is it possible to rejoin to the main path so I can avoid the maintenance of multiple catalog tasks/rejection actions?

Hi William,

Flow Designer will automatically rejoin the main stem when a branch action is completed unless an end action is specified. 

Example, the following will loop and complete 2.1 for how ever many records 1 returns. It will then proceed to complete 3.

If you want a branch to end the entire flow upon completion, you can use the end flow logic
