Approval Workflow Bypass for Specific Users

Posted on by lielianjie

Hi,

I have a purchase request worflow running with approvals.

The approval is sent to the manager of the person who triggered the flow (via a Form).

I used Get Manager v2 mail for that.

This works fine.

The thing is, sometime, the manager itself will need to filled up the Form and when they do, I need them to bypass the approval (because they don't need approval for purchasing stuff).

How can I exclude them from the approval part?

Here the part of my workflow where I need to apply this rule:

Thanks for your help!

Interesting.
Though, if the manager is filling the form, I still want him to follow the workflow because at the end of it a list is updated and email notification is sent.
I would like either the approval to be auto-approved when a manager fills out the form, or for the approval to be skipped. However, I still need the 'yes' branch of the workflow.

Hi @lielianjie

Based on responder's email dynamic content which is output of get response action

if your manager email is let's say as shown in image (i.e data@gmail.com ), then when responder email is not equal to data@gmail.com , then you have to make the flow to pass through the approval flow else it should bypass in case of manager 🙂

Hope it helps !
