Sharepoint Designer workflow for SharePoint server 2019 list.

Question

(Using SharePoint Server 2019 On Premise)

The goal: Create a workflow in which employees access pdf documents in a list called "Supervisor Forms" and fill them out. Then they are prompted to send an approval request email to their supervisor. Once approved by the supervisor, the employee is notified.

How can I set up a workflow in SharePoint designer to accomplish this task?

Answer 1

Hi @Tevon2.0 ,

As per my knowledge, this requirement cannot be achieved by using workflow. No such action like "Then they are prompted to send an approval request email to their supervisor" is supported in SharePoint design workflow. It's more likely a SharePoint 3rd party add-in feature but not can be completed by workflow. From my point of view, you can design a workflow like Approval workflows as an alternative.
