Hi All,

I've a SharePoint list, were there are multiple columns. One column is named as Billable / Non Billable, which is a Yes/No checkbox.

If the user selects Yes (Billable), then a flow will run through 4 level of approvals i.e.

VP Sales

VP Marketing

VP Engineering

VP Control

But if the user is selecting No (Non-Billable), than there will be 5 level of approvers as below

VP Sales

VP Marketing

VP Engineering

Managing Director

VP Control

In short - there are 5 level of approvers in the flow. If Billable, skip to send approval email to Managing Director and send email to VP Control.

Please advise how this can ne achieved.

Re: Skip approval if No selected from choice column and go to next approver

Hi,

Both the approaches seems to be working for me.
One more condition I would like to have for Managing Director.
If the Managing Director is not approving within 2 days, than approval from Managing Director should get skipped and email should go to VP. Getting below error:
In Director level approval, in settings I updated the Time out as P2D.
I looked around, but could not find possible solution. Please advise

Hi,
In condition 2, I added a step in If No section.
So if the approver is rejecting, the flow should stop. But this does not seems to be working.
Any suggestions please ?
