Assign Approvers in Flow based on a Response field on a form and lookup table

I have built a Microsoft Form that asks for a user's location. Based on that location, I need to build a table that has each location assigned to a Region. Each Region is assigned to a different approver. I have built a workflow in Power Automate that allows the Form to create an item and store responses to the form. I then need to send the approval based on the region that is assigned. Is there a way to assign a different approver in Microsoft flow based on a response to a Form?

    Can you please show me? I don't understand how to assign the locations to a Region and then the Region to an e-mail address. I have 75 locations broken into 5 regions, Each region has one e-mail address and that e-mail address is the one I need the approval to go to.

    I have another form where each of the 75 locations has a different email address it would have to use (a general manager)

     

    I am assuming I need to create a lookup somewhere and then tie it to the question number on the form?

    Hi @Anonymous ,

     

    You can follow these steps below:

     

    1- Create an action called "Initialize a variable" with the type String

    2- After to get the Forms response, you can create an action called "Switch" and validate manually all regions that you allowed your users to use

    3- Inside for each switch condition, you can use the action called "Set a variable", you can define the approvers for these regions separated by semi comma ";"

    4- Inside your Approvals action, you can use your variable
