Hello,

I am creating an approval process that requires all more senior management to approve. Depending on the requester's management level, this could be 1-6 levels of approvals, all required to be in sequential order.

Variables have all been set, but I am wondering how to assign the approvals without having to create 6 different conditional streams.

(I tried Assigned To, but if a field is blank, it errors out)

Ex.

1. Requester: Supervisor

Approvals in order: Manager ⇒ AGM ⇒ GM ⇒ SM ⇒ MD ⇒ VP

2. Requester: SM

Approvals in order: MD ⇒ VP

One option would be to do this

1. Have a sharepoint list that has mappings like you showed (which was perfect), where the line key is the MD, or VP or whatever string you have.

So in your flow, figure that out

then in the list, you would have the ; seperated list of email addresses it would go to, depending on which Key you found

2. Use that value in the Email (to)
