Sharepoint fields across parralel branch

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I've got a situation where I'm trying to send a reminder if a leave request is not approved after 3 days. I'm using a parralel branch and a 3 day delay then checking if the sharepoint approval field is still in pending.

I'm having issues where the approvers are getting follow up emails even if the sharepoint field is set to approved. Does the parralel branch have awareness of if a sharepoint field is changed on the other side of the parralel branch?

The problem is that unless you do another Get Item you are reading the information that was retrieved when you did the original get item.  That's why it doesn't update.  It is not because its a parallel branch.  The key to doing this is to create a variable to hold the approval state.  Then when its approved set the variable and test the state of the variable in the other branch.  The variable is global so the value will be there when you look for it.

Thanks I've deployed this and done a test and it seems to work.
