Record Approver

Regen

I have an approval workflow with more than one approver set. I need to record who actually approved a request.

My first idea was to just automate depending on what's in the "modified by" column, but this seems to automatically be discussion.system@smartsheet.com if an item is approved or rejected from the email.

Is there any other way to record who pressed the button?

I would suggest setting up separate columns for each approver.

Hi Paul,

I'm not sure I follow. I do not wish to build two different automations, as I need approvals to be final, e.g. the status can't be changed after something has been approved/denied.

If Steve and John are the approvers, then I would set up a Steve Approval column and a John Approval column and send out two separate automations.

You could then use a third dropdown type column with a formula to output the final approval.
