Parallel branch for reminders

Hi All,
 
I have built this flow:
Which i think should send an approval out and if it hasn't been approved in a week, it sends a reminder to the approvers. That seems to work except i now have a couple of flows where the approval has been approved within a week but the reminder email has still been sent. Any ideas what i'm doing wrong?

    You need to slightly modify what you are doing. Delete the first delay action then move your second delay action before the e-mail. You will then add a condition before sending the e-mail to check if your condition has been met (the approval has been completed). If it hasn't, send the e-mail on the yes side and do nothing on the no side. It will look like this:
     
    I set an integer variable for the initial delay. In the above, the first reminder does not go out until 7 days. Then when the first reminder is sent, it updates the variable to 1 to send a daily reminder thereafter.
