How to assign user for 2nd and 3rd step approval

Like (0) ShareShare

Posted on 26 May 2021 11:41:43 by 2

Task:

Form to be approved by user defined approvers

 

Flow:

User fill in a form

An item is created in SP list with form info.

Approval request is sent to requester, who accept/reject and add 2nd and 3rd level validated (from AD) users.

2nd and 3rd level receive approval request.

 

Problem:

I can't figure out how to add a validated user based on either form input or triggered from flow.

The 2nd/3rd level is not necessary the manager, but can be anyone specified by requester, but must exist in AD.

 

Example:

User A fill in the form.

Flow add new item to the SP List.

Approval msg is sent to requester, who must also add validated name/email/initials of 2nd and 3rd level approver.

2nd level approver get approval msg.

3rd level approver get approval msg.

    Thanks for your reply.
    That is kind of what I expected.
    I was hoping for a solution where either a validation of input in the form could be used, or fields could be added to the accept message sent to the user but that does not seem to be the case.

    Hi,

     

    As soon as the SP list is furnished with details from the form, can you trigger an email to the Requestor to add Level 2 and 3 users in SP list and send for approval?

     

    Then we can collect the valid AD names for level 2 and 3 and send for their approval.
