Use an approval to send another approval

I need direction here more than anything else.  We are in the process of creating an invoice approval app.  Depending on the amount of the invoice, it is appropriately routed to the approving manager.  This works as planned.  I need to have that manager, on approval, to route the request to a financial analyst.  The approving manager will know who that will be, but I am struggling with how to do this.  Is there a way in the approval text to request input and set in a variable to be used in the next Approval step?  I was also thinking of doing the "approval" within the Power App itself where the approving manager gets a link to the app and based on their User ID, they have a gallery of approvals where they can select the financial analyst and then it would be routed to them for that next approval step.  

 

Any suggestions?  To me, if I can handle input of a person in the approval text, I will do it there.  If not, I will build out the approval in the app itself.

 

Thanks for recommendations.

    @iskguy  There isnt a way for approver to add any text other than comments during the Approval, and i would not suggest taking user inputs from comments field for next approver as it may result in errors. You can go with PowerApps form or try adaptive cards

    @annajhaveri I figured that to be the case so I am going ahead with creating an approval "function" screen in the power app itself.  Thanks for the information
