11. Configure the Keep Site Outcome

In this step, you complete the Keep Site steps for the workflow. You add a Send Email step that lets the originator know their site remains in place.

  1. From the Toolbox > Basic node, add a Send Email step to the Keep Site outcome. Notify the originator the SharePoint site will remain in place. Rename the step Send Email Keep Site. (Optional: Add End steps.)
    1. From the Toolbox > Basic node, drag a Send Email step so that it aligns with the Keep Site outcome. Connect the outcome to the step.

      Your SharePoint site [Title] will be retained
      then replace the [Title] placeholder with the Site Requests > Title reference from the Context Browser. For the BODY content, enter
      This is your confirmation for your Keep Site decision. Your SharePoint site will remain in place. Thank you.

      4. There are two more steps to add that give your workflow a clean ending. You can use an End step to provide a clear visual ending to your workflow paths. You can also configure this step to terminate the workflow instance if necessary. Since you are at the end of the outcomes anyway, you don't need to terminate the workflow. You are just using the end steps for visual purposes.

    4. From the Toolbox > Logic node, drag an End step below the Set Status Rejected step. Connect the two steps. Drag an End step below the Keep or Delete Site > Decision step. Connect the Send Email Keep Site step and the Set Status Deleted step to the End step.
