Approval/Rejection notification in Approval Processes
Hi.
Can anyone tell me where/how I can send a notification to the initial submitter of an approval request upon final Approval/Rejection. If I add an email message action to either Final Approval or Final Rejection I am unable to select an appropriate recipient. The closest I get is "Creator", but that is the creator of the record to be approved, which is not good enough for me.
Any thoughts?
Regards,
Ivar
Hi,
I had the same requirement. The closest solution which I found is, create an Email field in the corresponding object and store the submitters email Id. Then make use of this Email Id field in the final Approval / Rejection action and send the mail alert.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Thanks Sureka. I somehow hadn't thought of that, this solved the issue :)
Hi Sureka,
Sorry to bring such an old topic back up again but the question in this topic is exactly what I am looking for as well. I understand your solution but do not know how to automatically fill in the submitter's e-mail ID in this field.
Is it possible that you, or someone else, explain this in more detail?
Thank you kindly in advance.

- Create a new field called "Initial Submitter" on the object for which the approval process exists.
- Create a Field Update that updates the field "Initial Submitter" to "$User.Email" (the current user's email address).
- Navigate to the approval process, and add a new Initial Submission Action, and select the field update that was just created above.
- From here on, you can create a new Email Alert, and the Recipient Type field, you will select Email Field->Initial Submitter.
Kind regards, Martin
