I have a workflow set up in the following way:
-
Approval workflow–>approval workflow (starts when the first approval workflow is completed)–>approval workflow (starts when the second approval workflow is completed)–>and so on
My end goal: Pull in the name of the approver from the previous workflow using SharePoint Designer on the task email of the next approval workflow when the workflow is sent to many people (Jane Doe, John Smith, Ann Smith) but is only one person is actually approving the item (Ann Smith accepted and approved the task). A couple options that I think would ultimately work, but I can’t seem to get all the pieces together are below, but any other suggestions are greatly appreciated!
-
There is a variable called “variable:approvers”, but it doesn’t pull in the name. Am I missing something?
-
Use the “outcome” column from the workflow history list because it identifies when and by who the workflow was completed by. When I try and pull in the outcome, however, I get the “Lookup for String” pop-up box. I would need instructions on how to properly fill out pop-up:
