Modify Approval Status Value

Question

I am sending an email through workflow and would like to indicate the Approval status. For example, I want the email to look like this:

Your request has been Approved by the Administrator.

OR

Your request has been Rejected by the Administrator.

HOWEVER, the email outputs:

Your request has been 0;#Approved by the Administrator.

How can I remove the 0;#?

NOTE: I am aware I could create an email for each approval status, but I was hoping to do it in just one.

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

You could have an IF/ELSE branch that says IF [%Request:Approval Status%] CONTAINS Approved set variable to "Approved" else set variable to "Rejected" and put that variable in the email body instead.

Answer 2

Check below workflow actions

• Extract Substring from End of String
• Extract Substring from Index of String
• Extract Substring from Start of String
• Extract Substring of String from Index with Length Value stored in to a variable, then after that you can use this variable into your workflow actions.
