Automating Reminders for Approval Flows
Haniel Croitoru, Nice article ! Is there a way we can track who has approved when there are multiple approvers and ALL must approve in order for the request to move to Approved state. I want to send reminder to only those who haven't approve yet.
I ended up changing my Flow to a time out and send again like what Jon demonstrates in this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4iuVi1Vtgg&t=1s
Basically my first approval times out in 3 days, then the second one runs after the time out. I couldnt get it to send out the first email until after the delay was met so a day later.
For the tracking who has approved, I used the Update Item to write the response to a column in the share point list.
Tim Miller I am attempting to set up an approval with timeout out and escalation, similar to what Jon did in the video. However upon timeout, the requestor receives a Rejection notification. The item is still escalated for a decision (and I added an email notification to the requestor that the request is being escalated). The end result though, is that the requestor receives 1) Rejection notification 2) Escalation notification. They do not receive the final decision (approval or rejection) notification that I was expecting. What I was expecting was 1) Escalation notification 2) Final decision notification. Your thoughts?
Hi Neeraj Bharti,
I haven't looked into this scenario yet, but will update the article once I come across it.
