    Parallel Approval Flow - clears approval requests from Action items when approval sent to a group of people

    ‎01-08-2020 11:32 AM

    A parallel approval flow demo showcasing a scenario where the approval is sent to a group. When one of the users from that group of people approves/declines it, the rest of the people don't have to take any action. However, the approval request remains in the users Action Items. This flow takes care of clearing up the items from the Action items.

    Example:

    Consider two parallel approvals:

    Approval-1

    Assigned to: User-A, User-B

     

    Approval-2

    Assigned to: User-C, User-D

     

    As soon as User-A (or User-B) approves the Flow. The request still stays in User-B. This flow will ensures that it removes that action item from that user.

    What are the preconditions for using this solution?

    Can a standard user use this?

    Kind regards, John

    This flow uses premium connection, since it makes query to Common Data Service (CDS) to clear the approval entries. That's the pre-requisite.
