Initiate scheduled parallel approvals for multiple department with reminders

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 8

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?

    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.

    Hi @Rahul_IT 

     

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