Form submit pre-approval before workflow multi approvals

Hi all,

Wondering if anyone has tried this before I potentially run an existing form and workflow.

I have a site access form that follows a dynamic multi approval workflow. The approval request is sent via Teams and Email and works fine with a data source containing company email addresses.

We have got permanent contractors who currently submit paper requests that are approved by the contractor HOD before follow-on approvals in our company.

I need to incorporate the contractor HOD approval into the flow, but they are not on our Microsoft 365 Entra list.

Would it work if I added an approval block in the form, conditional on responder selecting 'Contractor' in a previous form drop down, requiring the contractor HOD to approve or reject. If the HOD approves, it then submits the form for multi-step approval workflow? Or is this going to mess with the existing workflow and require a separate flow to handle contractor form responses?
