HI,

I have scenario to perform a custom action based on the notification approval result. Before creating a user, i need to send out for an approval, if the request is approved, i have to create a zendesk ticket with all the user data for reference.

If Notification Aprroval result is Yes
//execute task1
else Notification Approval result is No
//execute task2

I am new to this and could not find a direct way of doing it. Is there a way we can achieve this. Any help/pointers or references would really appreciated.

Hello,

Approving or denying an Approval Request means modifying it. So, to perform certain actions when an Approval Request is approved or denied, you need to create a Business Rule triggered after updating an Approval Request. To create such a rule:

  1. Create a new Business Rule.
  2. On step 2 of the Create Business Rule wizard, enable the Show all object types option.
  3. Select ApprovalRequest, and then After updating a ApprovalRequest.
  4. On step 3, add an action that must be performed when a request is approved. For example, if you want to run a PowerShell script, add the Run a program or PowerShell script action. To include a description of the operation that was approved in your action, use the %adm-DescriptionOfOperationToApprove% value reference.
  5. When done with the action, click OK.
  6. Now, you need to specify a condition when the action must be performed. When an operation is approved, the ApprovalState property of the Approval Request is set to 1. Click Add Condition.
  7. Select If <property> <relation> <value>.
  8. Specify If ApprovalRequest equals 1.
  9. Click OK.
  10. Click the Add action to a new set link.
  11. Add an action that must be performed when a request is denied.
  12. When done with the action, click OK.
  13. Now, you need to specify a condition when the action must be performed. When an operation is approved, the ApprovalState property of the Approval Request is set to 2. Click Add Condition.
  14. Select If <property> <relation> <value>.
  15. Specify If ApprovalRequest equals 2.
  16. Click OK.
  17. On the final state, include Configuration Objects in the Activity Scope of the rule.

Thanks, This is perfect!
