Creating An Ad Hoc, Single Use, Approval Process

[Eric_D_Miller]

Hello,

I would like to trigger the creation of a single-use approval process upon the submission of an issue. The details of said issue will communicate with a datastore which will help drive who is assigned to a certain step in the approval process.

How is this possible in Fusion?

Thank you

Hello @Eric_D_Miller 
It's possible, you'll have to manually stitch together the JSON.

Here is my JSON, but I get this error when trying to run the scenario:

[403] Please specify a user, job role, team, or wildcard.
