Hello,
I am trying to figure out a way to have an Approval restart after it has been rejected. For example, an item is submitted to sharepoint for approval and is reviewed by the approver. The approver may reject it and note to the submitter that they just need to change something minor (or what have you) for it to be approved. Now, I don't want the flow to end, I want it to wait for a specific period of time and check to see if the item was modified by the submitter (meaning, they went back and changed what they needed to). Once it sees that change, it should resend the approval to the approver for review. Does anyone have any experience with this/know how to do this?
Thanks!
Makes sense, thanks a lot Scott, appreciated!
You could use one Flow, but it may get complicated. If you want to keep it simple, you may want to spilt into two Flows.

Thanks a lot, I guess I will haveto have a seperate flow for this right, when an item is created or modfified?
@Anonymous- here is an example of the concept I was suggesting.
I have a column called "Submit for Approval". I have a Flow that runs and checks if the Submit for Approval column is checked. If it is, then, uncheck the box and start an approval.
Notice that I check for "True" and not "Yes"
My example uses the For a Selected Item trigger but you will want to use the When an Item is Created or Modified trigger.

I would appreciate if you could show an example, do you want me to post it as of a separate question?
If you are referring to the check box that says something like "Resubmit for Approval", you can simply use the Update Item action and set the check box to false if it is true. The value will be either true or false and will not be null.
Post here if you need an example.

@ScottShearer Final thought is a great suggestiona and work around. The only question I have is how can we set the flag variable to null, is this possible to do from flow itself?
