Track an attachments approval

Hi, 

 

I have created a flow that when a file is uploaded on a SharePoint Group it goes round a multi-layered approval. I was wanting to a track to see where this attachment is during the approval process.  When it's uploaded onto the SharePoint group I wanted a new item to be created on my list which I have created. Then when it's sent to each approver it will record the date it was sent and then the final outcome of all the approves. 

 

I have created my list to require the following: 

  • Title 
  • Date sent to Head of Service 
  • Date sent to Head of Finance 
  • Date sent to Head of HR
  • Date sent to Chief Exec
  • Outcome (approve/reject)
  • Date of the outcome 

When the file is uploaded and the item is create in SharePoint I only need the title at this point as it hasn't been round for any approval then after each approval I'll update the item and include the information related to the column.  Is this the correct way to try and achieve this?

    I don't see any issues with your approach and can't think of a better way.  I would note that there is a 30 day limit on Flows - no Flow can run for more than 30 days.  This sometimes is an issue with multi-stage approvals such as yours.  If it is, then break your approval stages into multiple Flows.
