Approval workflow Substitute rule for absence

Hello everyone,
I have the following problem with my approval workflow. A substitute rule is to be added to the approval workflow.

I would like a manager to be able to automatically forward approvals to their deputy when they are absent.
The aim of this is to ensure that if a manager is on vacation or sick, the approvals can still be processed by the deputy.
I have structured the workflow as follows.

I read in the conditions via forms and then send an approval to the supervisor. If this is approved, an element is created in an SP list. If it is rejected, the submitter receives a notification via Teams.

But now I need a workflow that reads out whether the supervisor is present or not and if he is absent, the workflow should look in a list where the substitutes are listed and then take them instead of the supervisor.

Do you have a solution for this problem?

Many thanks and best regards
Nils Pietrucha

Re: Approval workflow Substitute rule for absence

Yes, that's how I imagined it:
Condition:
- If the supervisor is present, the authorization is sent to him
- If the supervisor is not there, he goes to a list in which the representatives of the respective supervisor are listed and takes them as approvers.
Is this possible in Power Automate?
Could you possibly show me screenshots of how this works?
Thank you very much
