Approval Workflow Question - Allow Different Approvers

  • Aviagen
    Asked on June 9, 2021 at 9:22 AM

    Is there a way to have different approvers?

    For example i'm trying to do the following (https://form.jotform.com/Aviagen/visitationrequest):

    1. If person A chooses Feed Mill AL/TN/OK then the approval goes to Approver A
    2. If person B chooses Vet Lab then the approval goes to Approver B
    3. etc.

    We have different approvers per facility, so i'd like to see if that's possible.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello, Aviagen👋

    Thanks for contacting us.


    As I understand your question correctly - yes, it's possible. You will need to set up the multi-approval scheme. Below I will explain to you how to achieve this.


    First of all - please, add the Conditional Branch Element to your Flow:

    Please, add two conditions to your Conditional Branch for Feed Mill AL/TN/OK and Vet Lab:

    After that, you can connect your Conditional Branch element with 2 Approvals Elements and set up the rest of the form.

    Alex,

    That was very informative. Thank you.

    Could I put in two approvers in the approval workflow as well?

    Yes, you can have different approvers for different Approval elements on your Approval Flows.

    However, if you are looking to have multiple approvers in a single Approval element, I'm afraid that would not be possible.
