Automating Content Publishing - With Approval (New issue)

[Yaiza]

Hey there,

Originally, this topic was here: Automating Content Publishing - With Approval @David_M. However, it’s now closed, and it seems I can’t reopen it.

Now, after a few test runs, I’ve run into a couple of hiccups:

1. Sometimes, I get two emails with two different generated posts.
2. When I click on “Disapprove it,” the post still goes live.

[David_M]

Could you please share a screenshot of your current flow.

[Yaiza]

@David_M Here we go

[David_M]

Thank you for sharing:
I can help you solve hiccup # 2

So after the “wait for Approval” please make a split condition if approved and if not approved.
If you don’t have a split if yes or if no then no matter what link you click on then the next step will run.

Hope that helps.

Ok How I can do that? Using the branch piece?

[abuaboud]

Yes, a branch piece to look weather it’s approved or not and you can take action based on that, that should work

[Yaiza]

And what should be the condition? Does the flow look right now?

@abuaboud Wait for Approval can return {"approved":true} or {"approved":false} , but testing this action step by step always resulting in

{"statusCode":400,"error":"Bad Request","message":"params/id must match pattern \"^[0-9a-zA-Z]{21}$\""}

for approval link : https://cloud.activepieces.com/api/v1/flow-runs/test-flow-run-id/resume?action=approve

As a result, Wait for approval action return only {} and actual True/False value can’t be mapped in branch piece.

I did not get that , what shall be done?

Edit: I’ll just skip the disapprove link and leave everything as is if the post isn’t spot on.
