Power Automate - Approval Flow getting stuck in Limbo

Hello everyone,

 

I'm currently using power automate's, what I can only describe as, "an out of the box" approval flow (its the option you get when in the modern view of a SharePoint site). Problem is, recently the flow itself has started breaking in that, I get notified of the approval request (a site page edit) I click on the view page link to see review the change and actually approve or reject the page, all I can see is an empty panel telling me that I don't have any approvals:

 

 

Looking at the power automate's history, I can see that I now have 10 or so pages to be approved and the flow for them has been running for days...

 

 

 

Any thoughts on what might be happening? There's no 'Fail' or breakages per se, it just seems to be stuck so I can't really tell what might be happening and I'm wondering if anybody here has dealt with a similar situation?

 

  • Corbenik Are you trying to see Approvals from here or from somewhere else?

      ganeshsanap nah from the page itself:

       

      when it works you just go into that 'Review approvals' button, the side panel will come up where you would then have the option to either approve or reject the changes made. But now all I get is that empty list from my post suggesting that there is nothing to review

      • Corbenik I think you are talking about SharePoint out of the box site pages approval - when you enable content approval from library settings > versioning settings. Am I right?

         

        In that case, when you click on "Review approvals" button, you should see approval requests for the page in right panel like: 

        Or are you using any customized Power automate flow approvals for this?
