This was almost identical to what I was needing so i set my flow up to be the same. the only difference is that my Do Until is on the right side instead of left and I put the set variable to true after my Condition statement after starting the approval. The flow works fine except the reminders never stop coming. It's like it doesn't see the variable is set to true for some reason. I've tried butting the set variable above the Condition, in the condition and after it. I found that the Do Until variable is equal to should be just "true" and not "bool('true')" and that made it work just fine. Thank you!

Can I use this flow if I have two approvers in my flow, like a manager and supervisor?
