How to ask for approval in parallel using Flow designer from a list collector

[AbbasP]

Hello All,

I currently have a catalog with a list collector which points to the Business Applications CI. Each CI has an IT Application owner.

I would like my flow designer to raise a task for each business application selected in the list collector and also send the request for approval to the IT application owner.

I am able to create all the tasks at once, once the catalog request is submitted. I would like to also send out approval requests all at once but am unable to do so. My flow sends out one approval and waits before sending the next one. As a request, I am only able to see the 1 approver in the approvals reference field in the RITM.

Is it possible to show all the approvers in the RITMs reference field at one rather than having to wait for it sequentially using flow designer (no code)?

Greetings,

Have you tried using "Do the following in Parallel"? To get to this option, you can take the steps listed below. You will of course need to create this step in the correction location within the Flow. 

- Click "Add an Action, Flow Logic, or Subflow"

- Click "Flow Logic"

- In the drop-down, navigate to "Do the following in Parallel"

Thanks for the response @lpruit2,

I have managed to solve this issue by creating a subflow and removing the wait option. This resulted in both the tasks and approvals to be sent out at the same time which was the required result.

For those curious, the flow and sub flow is attached.
