Not sure if anyone had any ideas on this one
We use the External Authorisation node in workflows to send approval requests - I set it to expire after 3 days, after which it loops back round, prompts the agent to confirm the approver is still right, gives them a chance to change it if needed and resends the email to prompt the approver again
A problem we get frequently is that once the approver has been entered and the Authorisation email sent, the customer comes back and tells us that approver has left/moved/changed/off sick/on leave (delete as appropriate). We then have a list of secondary approvers we can fall back on, however the issue we have is that the workflow is suspended pending the approver responding to the email (which they won't as they're not there) or until it expires (which is 3 days away, and the customer won't wait that long, so we get a lot of shouty nagging)
so my question is - is there anyway, via perhaps a custom button, that we can bring a suspended workflow back to being active ahead of the expiry in this scenario, so we can continue processing (i.e. loop things back round, amend the approver and send the email again) without having to wait it out or wait for an approval action we know isn't going to come?
