Double Approval Flow: if declined send "request Update", which then triggers a second approval?

Scott Johnson

Hi all

I am setting up a purchase approval flow.

my primary approval flow is working, if approved "send alert", if declined "request Update"

from here, once the update is complete Id like it to trigger a secondary approval flow.

any thoughts on how I can do this?

Ok. I'd recommend adding a checkbox or similar that the user can select when they've completed the request.

Would that work/help?

If not, there's another possible workaround.

Hi Scott,

You’ll need to add another Workflow that would trigger from the updated field.

Make sense?

Would that work?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!

unfortunately the "updated fieled" would be a completed update request, thats where I'm stumbling.

I can automate to send the update request and a 2nd approval immediately, but not a condition that the update request has been answered
