Start and Wait for an approval condition response

Posted on by NathanWassink

I am creating an approval flow so that once the approver approves the request, a calendar event is automatically created. I have successfully got that to work, but my form that I have requesters fill out have variables where if it is a full day or a part day off they are requesting. So I created a condition to two different Start and wait for an approval based on form response. That part has worked as well, but when I want to create the condition to create event upon approval, I can only get it to choose the correct value on the one condition. See screenshots below.

This Start and Wait for an approval condition works well:

And as you can see on the "If no" side, I cannot find the "Response" value in the dynamic content. So I don't know how to create an event upon an approval.

I suspect you started with an old template. Response was available in the original approval actions. But Start and wait for an approval use dynamic content called Outcome for whether it was approved or not. That's why you don't see Response. There will be Responses, but that's a collection of details about all the responses. For a simple test you want Outcome. You should remove the approval action on the Yes side and re-add it so you get the current approval action.
