Hey Team! I have quite a unique use-case where I need to set up some sort of dynamic approval-workflow. **Use-case:** Some access profiles for application XYZ need to go through 2-step approvals (1. Manager 2. Governance Group). However a handful of specific access profiles connected to XYZ application need to be automatically approved after the 1st manager approval **if the requestedFor of said access contains a certain attribute.** (For example: John Doe requests XYZ access, John Doe is part of HR Department == Automatically approve request after 1st approval). My first questions is: - **Is it possible to trigger “Access Request Decision” workflow when request is not fully finished?** My 2nd questions is: - **Is there a good way of configuring a workflow for this? The example below shows what I have tried:** ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sailpoint/original/2X/8/892aefb347493837333f8df4f3094853c9508ce5.png) In my head I was imagining that it was going to be a piece of cake, however, now I have run into some problems. Firstly, I’m not sure the trigger works for half-finished approvals, secondly the ID needed for **“Approve Access Request”** is _not the same ID that is contained within_ **“Access Request Decision”** , meaning I have to somehow manually fetch the approvalID via another HTTP request, where filtering options are limited making it quite annoying… Is it even worth configuring a workflow like this or is there perhaps better options out there? Thank you, Seb. ---

@colin_mckibben Do you by chance have any knowledge to shine on this use-case? :\> ---

You should look into this > [@Implementing A Request Response Type Trigger in Workflows](https://developer.sailpoint.com/discuss/t/implementing-a-request-response-type-trigger-in-workflows/10216): > > At the time of this writing, SailPoint Workflows does not have native support for our [request response type](https://developer.sailpoint.com/docs/extensibility/event-triggers/trigger-types/#request-response) triggers, such as the [Access Request Submitted trigger](https://developer.sailpoint.com/docs/extensibility/event-triggers/triggers/access-request-submitted). However, there is a way to implement request response triggers using the current capabilities of Workflows. This guide will demonstrate how to configure a Workflow that can successfully receive events from the Access Request Submitted trigger as well as respond wi… ---

Yes, check out that blog post that Krishna linked to. You can modify it to add one or more forms for out-of-band approvals on an access request. ---
