Prevent duplicate approval

Posted on by claricelyy

Hi all, any idea how to prevent duplicate approval for 2 start and wait for approval sent to the same group of approvers?

Example:

1) Notification sent to 5 approvers (A B C D E)

2) Approver A approved the flow

3) Approver A should not be receiving notification again for next approval and notification is sent to the 4 remaining approvers (B C D E) OR notification sent to 5 approvers but Approver A is not allowed to approve flow again.

Thanks!

Certainly! Here’s an improved version of the language:

Is there a reason you have two approval actions? Are you trying to implement a two-stage approval process?

To achieve this, I recommend creating a dynamic variable that contains a list of approvers. Populate this variable based on the responses from the first approval. Then, use this variable in the "To" field of the second approval action.

Hi, thanks for replying.

Yes its for security reason so we require 2 approvals.

How do I create a dynamic variable which contains the list of approvers and where do i populate the variable?

does that mean that approver A will not receive any notification for the 2nd approval even though he/she was selected in the sharepoint list as one of the approvers?
