Initiate scheduled parallel approvals for multiple department with reminders

Posted on by Rahul_IT

I have a requirement, where i want to initiate multiple reminders for different set of approvers with reminders , if they have not approved it for 7 days.

ex: 3 set of approvers to get different approval mails

a. HR

b. legal

c. IT

So far, i am using the method explained in this video "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTIAgIPINjw - Approval process with multiple reminders". But how can it be achieved for 3 departments .. to get the approval mail on the same day.. and then if one approved it..but other 2 haven't. Then only those 2 should get the reminder.

I tried with parallel branch , following suggestion in this video with Do-Until, but it just keeps on looping and sending mails.

Has anyone done something like that before?

Hi @Rahul_IT

If u required separate department use case, better you can build 3 separate flow that will run at a time.

Thanks Ahammad,

It seems to me also the only option..Because parallel approval just doesn't close out the loop. But , i thought i might be missing something.
