Send an approval to the manager of the manager

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 28
Hi everyone,
 
I would like to create a flow, where we send the approval to the supervisor of the supervisor, when he has a vacation and can't approve it. I already have an existing flow, but it's not working properly. I'm getting the information about the manager from the active directory. I tried to use a method, where we check if the manager has the automatic replies turned on, but it's also sending it to the other one if it's turned off. I don't know if it's the right logic. Do we have something better to set up the flow? If it's the right logic, how can I use it correctly? I attach the relevant part of the flow below. I appreciate any kind of help.
 
Thanks everyone,
Balázs

    It is a bit difficult to tell what your flow is doing since it is not in English, but for the Bedingung (condition) action in the last image, you manually typed true instead of selecting true from the expression builder. Use the expression builder to insert true into the condition instead. It will then be in pink like the expression on the left of the condition.

    Informations and fields from flows -> Get user -> get manager -> get mail tips for a mailbox -> foreach and a condition ->
     
    if true: send an approval to the manager -> if approved send an email, if not approved send another email
     
    if false: get manager of manager -> send an approval to the manager of the manager -> if approved send an email, if not approved send another email.
     
    That would be the main idea, but it goes every time to the false state doesn't matter if the automatic replies are on or not. It doesnt matter if I select the true from the expression builder or not in other flows it work either way.
