Branching from approvals

I have a flow that contains an approval action so I have a "Start and wait for an approval" action. This approval step sends it to multiple people, so in the "Assigned to: " spot I enter the name of, say 3 approvers. But once they make a decision (either approve or reject), how do I branch off my next steps depending on their answers? I need to account for all permutations

A=Approve

R=Reject, so

A,A,A

A,A,R

A,R,R

R,R,R

Also doesn't matter the order (ie. Who approves and who rejects) only when there's a certain number of approves and rejects.

Re: Branching from approvals

@ay2

Are the three approvals always going to the same place? I wonder if it might worthwhile to have 3 parallel branches each with a single person, and then aggregate the responses in the end with a Switch to determine the path based on the aggregated response.

Just a thought.

Re: Branching from approvals

Hi @ay2,

You could initialize an integer variable to count the number of approve, after all approver responded, use Apply to each action to loop through each response, if it is equals to approve, increase the variable. After it, you could create a condition to determine the variable whether greater than the number you want, if it met, go to next steps:
