Workflow User Decision and mail to multiple users

Hi Expert,

I am using a approval workflow, where I need to send approval mail and user decision to multiple users at a time. Is there any option/technique to do this. I am also using deadline monitoring for user decision. I need to assign the deadline monitoring time(may be No. of days) from a container element(variable which i will be getting from custom table) and also the user decision should be sent to multiple user, if it misses the deadline.

Please suggest if there is a way to do it.

Thanks,

Ashok
