Need some help, can't even get a proper approval flow for Sharepoint to work
Hi there, I am trying to set up a Microsoft Flow for users to submit document for approval when they need to publish it. here are the issues I have: 1. There is no trigger for automatically starting workflow when item is in pending status. I have to create a link for user to click to manually launch the workflow. 2. There is no place to check the status of the running workflow in Sharepoint. 3. If a step gets stuck because of user is not available, there is no redirect or push through option for Admin, at least I can't find one. 4. When the item get approved, we'd like to update some attribute of item by Flow, like approver's comment, published date, etc. But as soon as Flow update an attribute, the item status changes back to Draft. If I update the attribute at the beginning of the workflow, the status changes to draft, and it can't be approved because it's need to be in pending status. I understand that this is supposed to happen as the item get updated, but Flow should have an action to set the status to Pending. Can someone please help me on this? Thank you in advance.
