Question

Is there a way to get the name of the user who approved a request and supply that to a step inside of a custom command?

For example, HR submits a status change for an employee. IT then approves this request or rejects it.

Is there a way to grab that IT Staff members name and pass it as a param in a custom command that is called in one of the steps?

Hello,

Unfortunately, there is no such possibility for a custom command that is executed manually. As a solution, you can use a business rule triggering After updating a ApprovalRequest. The rule will run a script that will execute the custom command. In the script, you can obtain the properties of the user who processed the request and then pass the required property value as a custom command parameter value for execution. For information on how to execute custom commands using scripts, have a look at the following SDK article: http://adaxes.com/sdk/SampleScripts.ExecutingCustomCommands.
