Email alerts for 'Start approval and wait'

Hello,

 

I created a flow that will look for a change being made to a SharePoint list and then 'start an approval and wait'. Whenever I test the flow, I get non-stop notifications (both via email and via Approvals in Teams) for the request. They will start sending me 2 notifications every minute regardless of whether the request is approved, denied, or unanswered. I figured out how to disable notifications completely in Approvals but how can I control how many notifications are sent and at what frequency?

    You have created an infinite loop with your workflow. The trigger on your flow is When an item or file is modified. It looks like the first thing you do when the flow triggers is to update the item. This is causing the flow to trigger again and send out another approval, which then causes it to trigger again... This blog post will give you tips to prevent creating infinite loops: How to avoid infinite trigger loop in Power Automate (tomriha.com)
