Pause and change the setting in the middle of the flow

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hi All,

 

I'm currently working on a level approval process and wondering if that any way to pause the flow and amend the the approver between the process? Let's say second approver is on leave after the first approver approve the document, is that any way to change the second approver to another person instead?

 

Appreciate all the comments and advices. Thanks

    Dear @Anonymous ,

     

    The Power automate can't add any additional process in the middle of running. All the Processes should be design before starting the process. This is by design.

     

    Suggestion is adding the secondary approver in the Power automate initially and send the approval request for both. Then, the secondary approver can approve the request.

     

    If you want to provide any of your insight or improvement request, please use the Idea community: https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Power-Automate-Ideas/idb-p/MPAIdeas

     

    Best regards,
    Jisung Han
