    Hi Ron,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. I have cloned your form and reviewed its Approval Flows. Currently, you have two Approval elements. You can add another Approval element and connect it to the Split element. Here's how to do it:

    • In Approvals, on the left side of the screen, click on Add Element.
    • Click/Drag the Approval element to add to the Approvals.
    • Hover your cursor over the Split element and click on the Plus icon.
    • Connect the Split element to your newly added Approval element.

    Give it a try and let us know how it goes.

    Hi Ron,

    Thanks for getting back to us. It looks like the image you sent was not uploaded on this thread. Can you send us some screenshots again of what’s happening? This guide will show you how to do that. Are you getting an error when adding the additional approval element? Can you explain a bit more about why it won't let you complete the flow so I can get a better idea of what's happening?

    After we hear back from you, we’ll have a better idea of what’s going on and how to help.

    Hi Ron,

    Thanks for using Jotform. We’re excited to announce that we’ve implemented the Group Approval feature in Approvals. It’s really easy to Set That Up. Let me walk you through it:

    1. In Approvals, click on the Approval element.

    2. Click on the Gear icon on the right side of the element.

    3. In the menu that opens on the right side of your screen, you'll see the General settings.

    4. In the box below Approvers, enter the email addresses or team names.

    5. In the Drop-down menu below Completion Rule, select one of the following:

    • Require response from majority: Approver responses are collected until the majority of responses received. If there is a tie, the first response with the majority is used.
    • Require response from all: When all of the approvers have responded, the workflow will proceed using the outcome with the majority of responses. In the case of a tie, the majority outcome with the first response is used.
    • Require a certain number of responses: Approver responses are collected until the required number of responses is received. If there is a tie, the first response with the majority is used.
    • Require response from one person: The workflow will proceed using the outcome from the first response.

    Keep in mind that it’s also possible to add teams in the Approvers so you don’t need to add the email address for each team member. 

    Let us know if you have any questions or need any other help.
