Creating a workflow for a form.
I have created a form and I cannot seem to get the workflow to work the way I want it to.
Here is what I want to happen.
1) Requestor fills out form and selects one approver from a drop-down list of approvers.
2) Request is sent only to the approver selected from the drop-down to approve or decline.
3) Once the selected approver has approved the request two people are notified that action is required by them.
Any assistance is appreciated.

@Peter Hermges , is your approvers column a Contact List column type?
Assuming it is, then once the form submission adds a new record to the sheet with a selected approver, you could create an automated approval workflow in the sheet, which will be directed to the contact in the approver cell. Then if approved, you can notify a specific person(s), including a customized message if you choose.
Workflow settings are outlined below as an example. Replace "Detected By" with "Approver":
I hope this works well for you.
