Automating Reminders for Approval Flows
Very nice article, Haniel Croitoru and an excellent solution!
I am considering using something similar for Project Change Requests; do you know if Approvals can be assigned to External Users?
Thanks!
Hi Jim Duncan,
Thanks for the feedback. I looked into your specific scenario and what I found was that it's not possible for the reason that each approval is associated with a specific tenant ID.
When you are creating an approval, the approval link in the email points to your tenant's Flow Approval page (e.g. https://flow.microsoft.com/manage/environments/Default-your_tenant_id/approvals/received) . When an external user clicks this link in the email, they would get a 404 error as that page does not exist on their tenant.
One work-around would be to provide a regular email with more details to them and possibly manage the approval through another mechanism, such as SharePoint. A similar approval process could be introduced for that case.
Hope this information is helpful for you.
