Increment integer variable after each approval

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 2

Hello,

I'm trying to create a flow where an integer variable increments only after each approval. The goal is to use this variable to create a personalized code for each approved item, however I'm not sure how to do this.

I think should initialize a variable before the approval action, then increment it after the approval, however I'm not sure how to make this create a running tally after every approval.

Any help would be appreciate, thank you!

    Can you post a screen shot of your Flow?  Knowing how you have the approvals configured is required to answer your question.

    Hey Scott,

    These are the steps involved with the approvals. I am uploading documents only after an approval and would like each one to have a unique identifying number, which I was planning on using the incrementing integer variable for. If there is another way to do that too, that would be fine.
