I have a flow that currently always asks for approvals. I have a new requirement that if the variable skipApproval is set to Yes it should skip the approval stage and move to the fulfillment stage and create tasks. I am trying to not create additional actions and use the ones that are already in place. How can I do this? I have an if statement created but cannot figure out how to skip to the steps where the fulfillment process begins.

Hi @EarlH
Flow Designer can’t skip to a later action. Use an If condition:
- skipApproval = Yes → Go directly to fulfillment (or call a fulfillment subflow).
- skipApproval = No → Run approvals, then continue to fulfillment.
Using a subflow for the fulfillment steps avoids duplicating actions.
