Record Approval Date

Options

I have an automated workflow to get approval from different managers one after another and need to record the date of each aproval. I see a record a date option available and used it at the end of the series. But is there any way to use it after every approval request?

    Hi @Chamudi Withanawasam

    Hope you are fine, yes you can add automation after each approval step using the condition of the approval manager to record the approval date for each one.

    for example, if you have Manager 1 & Manager 2 then you design you automation sequence as follows:

    Manager 1 Approve Then Record Date for Manager 1 then if date is recorded send to get Manager 2 Approval then record the Date for Manger 2

    Hi @Chamudi Withanawasam

    I hope you're well and safe!

    Yes, you'd only need to add a column for each and multiple record a date workflows that look at the Approvals.

    Make sense?

    Would that work/help?

    I hope that helps!

    Be safe and have a fantastic week!
