Hi,

So I'm working on a flow to get leave request approval flow working. Normaly, that is a simple task. You get a manager to approve it and you're done. But my case is different.

I have 3 basic groups of users:
1) in region A

2) in region B

3) others

Region A and B have 3 managers each, so every user from those regions need an approval from one of the managers. "Others" have a single manager. After that each request is also approved by HR.

So what I need to do is pretty simple in my mind, but I can't find the means to do it in flow:
If region = A, ask for approval: d, e, f
Else if region = B, ask for approval: g, h, i
Else if region = (blank), ask for approval: user manager
If approved above, ask for approval: HR

How should I go around doing it?

Hi @Anonymous,

I have made a test on my side to create a sharepoint list with a region column with Single line of text column as below:

You could refer to screenshot below to create the flow:

The expression in the Condition as below:

@or(equals(body('Start_an_approval')?['response'], 'Approve'),equals(body('Start_an_approval_2')?['response'], 'Approve'),equals(body('Start_an_approval_3')?['response'], 'Approve'))

And you could refer to screenshot below to add the switch case:

When an item is created in the list, the flow would run successfully as below:
