Ask for approval

[Kanimitha S]

Hi,

I have doubt to creat "Ask for Approval " action. Actually, I have created an catalog item and now I am creating flow design to automate approval. So, my requirement is, approvals need to trigger to the owner of the Application based upon the application selected by the user. The application variable type is List collector. For eg. If user selected 3 applications, approvers need to trigger for those 3 owner of an selected application. Kindly guide me step by step to create this.

it's an easy requirement.

hi @Kanimitha S  ,

Since your Application variable is a List Collector, you'll need to loop through each selected application.

A simple approach is:

1. Trigger the flow when the Catalog Item is submitted.

2. Use a For Each action to iterate through the selected applications.

3. For each application, retrieve its Owner.

4. Use the Ask for Approval action and set the approver to that Owner.

5. The loop will create a separate approval for each application's owner.
