Start and wait for an approval depending on who submitted it

Hello, I'm attempting to build a flow that triggers when an item is created in a SharePoint list.

The goal is to wait for the item to be created in SharePoint until the request is approved with the approval step.

However, it needs to be dependent on who submitted the request.

I have this so far:

However, even with the conditional, I noticed that the SharePoint is still updated regardless if it's approved or not. What do I need to change to make sure that the SharePoint item is created only when it is approved?

Can you describe what you are attempting to achieve? A flow chart or a list of steps would do

The flow is not correct. You should order it like this:

When an item is created
Then approval action using the name from the sp list
The condtion where the approval = approved
Then do what ever is next, send email or update the sp list

I am assuming with the above that you will enter the person who needs to approve the request in the sp list.

When someone submits a form through Power Apps, it creates a row in a SharePoint list we have. I'm wanting to introduce approvals depending on who submitted the form.

1. User submits form
2. Power Automate checks who submitted it to know whether it needs approval or not
3. If no, submit the item to the list
4. If the user is set up for needing approval, start and wait for an approval
5. If approved, submit the item to the list
6. If reject, do not submit it to the list.
Here is an updated attempt:

This is what I have tried so far:
However, when I approved it, it did not get submitted to the list at all.
