How do I stop an approval workflow from going to everyone selected in the drop-down?

I want the request for approval go to the individual selected in the drop-down cell instead of everyone that is an option in the drop-down.

Answers

  • Would I need a separate condition in the workflow for each individual (manager to approve)?

    Hi Evette,

    Not sure I follow!

    You’d select in the Automation that you want it to send to the contacts specified in a contact column, and if there is only one selected, it should only send to that one contact.

    Can you describe your process in more detail and maybe share the sheet(s)/copies of the sheet(s) or some screenshots? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help. (share too, andree@getdone.se)

    I hope that helps!

    Be safe and have a fantastic weekend!

    Best,
