Use Automatic Output in Flow Approval Processes

A flow approval process has access to output for its stages, steps, and decisions. Query the status of any stage or step in the flow approval process. Use output parameters from any step’s associated flow. In a flow approval process, referenced automatic outputs that contain a record or a record collection are refreshed with their latest values each time the orchestration run associated with an approval submission resumes.

Add an element or resource to your flow approval process.

When you build a flow approval process, automatic outputs for every stage and step that it contains are universally available. This universal availability means that you can potentially use automatic output in your designed flow approval process before it’s available in an orchestration run based on the flow approval process. So, when using automatic output, consider the order in which elements and resources are executed at run time.

  1. In a resource, value, or input parameter field, select a stage or step from the dropdown list.
  2. Select the automatic output field from the dropdown list.
  3. Save your work.
