Hi!

I'll try have a look at this as soon as possible! It's a busy day at the office today :)

In the meantime, I would suggest also posting this in the flow community:

Hi Adam,

I had communicated with the flow power community as you suggested.
They suggested to check the status and restrict to call, before the Start an Approval action.

I guess the suggestion is the way around, but there will be always a new instances will be created for each and every created or modified items, which are Pending or Draft state.
I need to understand why every time the flow is creating a new instances if the item is in Pending or Draft state.
Appreciate your help for the same. Is it the built in behavior of the Action or I made a mistake?

Thanks and Regards
Asesh
