Hey folks,
I need to find a better way to create a workflow where will trigger 5 different department to request approval.
I have a Service Catalog with a MultiSelect field, where the user can select the systems from 5 different department, for each department I need to send an approval request, however I'll have 120 different combinations to cover all possibilities.
Any ideas how to create a easy workflow?

Hope this helps
Only problem I saw with the Custom Objects, I have no option to multiselect, only Dropdown.

Hmm, I guess that is true since you would want to return just one record. I wonder if you could get around that with the expression node. If you could get the contents of the multiselect field and edit that into a string, perhaps you could compare that result to the custom object getting one record that would contain all the email addresses of the approvers necessary. Not elegant, and no promises it would work, but just a thought. I know that

Hello,
The solution I use is to have service items and each service item have it’s one set of approvers defined in 2 custom objects. One is for setting the category, if it doesn’t need an approver, group to assign. How many steps need be approved. Example first manager then named approver (Service owner)
Second defines the different steps, step 1 Manager Step 2 Named approver.
With the multi dropdown field you get an array and there is no loop function in FS. You can only select one item at the time in a Custom Object.

They are working on creating Freshworks User Network groups. Which would allow us to organize group events to talk about all things Freshservice related, including solving complex business problems.
