Flow save failed with code 'InvalidTemplate' and message 'The template validation failed:
What I want to do is the trigger should initiate When an item is created, it should automatically send out an email to the approver with options to approve or decline. Scenario A (App Approval): If the manager approves/declines from the app, the status will be updated in the SharePoint list. Power Automate should detect this update and send the respective confirmation email to the requester without waiting for action from the email. Scenario B (Email Approval): If the manager approves/declines from the email options, Power Automate should update the SharePoint item’s status and send the respective confirmation email. Workflow Steps I followed: Trigger: When an item is created in the SharePoint list, initiate the flow. Send Email with Options: Send an approval email to the approver with "Approve" and "Decline" options. Parallel Branch Execution: Branch 1 (Email Approval): Wait for a response from the email. If approved/declined, update the SharePoint item’s status accordingly. Send a confirmation email to the requester. Branch 2 (App Approval): Trigger: When an item is modified in SharePoint. Detect if the status has changed (approved/declined) from the app. Send a confirmation email to the requester. When I applied this I am getting this error [ Flow save failed with code 'InvalidTemplate' and message 'The template validation failed: 'The inputs of template action 'Send_an_email_(V2)_2' at line '1 and column '7007' cannot reference action 'Update_item'. Action 'Update_item' must either be in 'runAfter' path or within a scope action on the 'runAfter' path of action 'Send_an_email_(V2)_2', or be a Trigger.'.'.]
Capture Approval Comments from SharePoint Approval
I am using a SharePoint list for items that are being independently worked. Once the work item is complete an approval is sent for review. The approval request is done on the list with the built-in function not using power automate. How can I capture the approval decision, date and comments using the basic built-in function using power automate? I don't need to send an email. I cannot have the flow triggered on an item once it is created as the created item will be worked at a later time. I just want to capture data related to the approval decision.
Copying lookup column value from one SharePoint list to another
Hello. I am having some difficulty when I try to copy the values in a SharePoint lookup column from one list to another. Both lists have the same lookup column called "Sponsor" and they are both referencing the same list called "Sponsor Values". The Sponsor column is also a multi-selection drop-down in both lists, so I need to copy over all values. The Sponsor Values list that is being referenced only has columns ID and Sponsor Name. I have a Power Automate flow setup that copies information between list A and list B, but the Sponsor field does not copy over. Can anyone help with how I need to go about doing this in Power Automate?
File not found when doing Get File content in Power Automate
Good Day, Been researching this endlessly but no solution. I am doing a flow but when doing a Get file content in Apply to each, I get the error below. I am using Identifier from the Get file (properties) in my Get file content action. What am I missing ? Can someone please help. Many thanks in advance. "File not found clientRequestId: 83ed0d3e-d278-48f3-b3ff-a6662a4d68d7 serviceRequestId: 83ed0d3e-d278-48f3-b3ff-a6662a4d68d7Vacation/Leave tracker
Hi All, I am creating a Leave tracker, Basically what I have done so far is. -Create a form for leave submission. -Link it to approvals so it basically retrieved manager details and sends approval request via Outlook/Teams. -Create a SPO list item to update and save requests. -Once approval is received the SPO list item is updated to have a status approved. -This triggers email notification to the requestor. -A calendar event is updated in a shared calendar. What I would like to add/Improve is: -Check before sending approval request to see if balance has enough days for the leave requested. -Tracking for vacation balance. i.e. deduct approved days from balance. -For Calendar events to cover all days of the leave in case it is more than one days. Current Create event, Creates only one day. I tried multiple methods that did not work, Any Idea how to achieve this??
SharePoint, OneNote, and Flow...issues with copying a OneNote Notebook using Flow
We have a OneNote notebook in a Document Library that contains many sections. We use this notebook each time we create a new folder in a document library. In the past we have manually created it. End goal: To be able to open the Notebook in SharePoint Online. Every way I try to write the Flow I am failing. 1) If I create the OneNote as a template (onepkg), I can successfully copy the file from the template site to the new folder. But when I open it, it opens in Native Client, requires me to choose a location to save it to, and if I choose back to SharePoint it creates a folder with individual pages for each section. Fail. 2) If I just try to copy the OneNote (not as a template), Flow doesn't recognize it as a file; it sees it as a folder. Anyone have any suggestions on the best way to solve this?

Word Doc properties not updated in doc body
Hi, sorry if i am repeating the topic, could not find one that would answer my issue. I have a document template with 2 tables on the page: Table 1 contains info from the template like - Document ID, version, Template approver and Template approval date Table 3 contains info from the procedure - Document ID, version, Document approver and Document approval date. Template is being approved through Power Automate flow. Data in table is updated through flow and all works as expected. However, document after approval flow does not update Document properties in the Table 2, specifically document approver and document approval date. Document ID is updated and version also. I have checked Info of the document, and fields are updated but it is not reflected in the table. If i add it manually again, it does place the correct values, but then my this is seen as change and approval flow needs to be triggered again. Any ideas how to solve this? Thanks.
Images appear blurry on Power App when source is from Sharepoint List image column
I used the "Data-centred mobile app" app template to create a Power App from a SharePoint List. This template automatically creates 3 types of screens: Browse, Detail, Edit/Create. One of my Sharepoint columns contains images which I want to display in on of the screens in the app. The template automatically parks this image as a Datacard. One of the images, which is different in dimensions to the others, comes out blurry. I tried changing the image dimensions, but it doesn't solve the problem. Here is a screenshot:
