Approval Flow - Approval Status - why can't this be updated?
I am hoping i am missing something! Just looking at moving approval workflows from SharePoint workflows to Microsoft Flow. From what i have read the flow cannot update the standard 'Approval Status'...

As far as i am aware Flow does work with standard Approval but not in the same way as SharePoint Workflows in other words like for like does not seem to work. We use minor major versioning with approvals and I cannot see a way of replicating Approvals with Flow. If anyone out there has clear instructions on how to achieve this, then I would be eternally grateful for them.

Hi,
Flow has a "Set Content Approval Status" which is responsible on the approve or reject "Approval Status"
the trick is to get the approval status of the Pending, this can be achieved only with API call, as for now FLOW doesn't have a built in function to do it.

Hi,
So how can we now if the document is approved or rejected? Only by the email response?
