Create a new approval is Optional

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hi,

 

I'm attempting to make approval flow using Power Apps with some condition. I have 3 Recipients (2 mandatory and 1 Optional) so 2 Recipients will be assigned in first approval then next 1 Recipient will be assigned in second approval but depends on condition

This is my flow :

1. Create an approval (1) --> assigned to 1st and 2nd Recipients

2. Create an approval (2) --> assigned to 3th Recipient but this flow is optional depends whether I put the name in the box or not

the flow is running, but when I checked on Flow history, the notification is failed, it is because I don't assigned 3th recipient

Can you have the solution how to add another condition before Create an Approval, the logic is, if I assigned 3th Recipient then flow will continued, but If I'm not assigned 3th Recipient then the flow is stop.

 

Thank you

    @Anonymous- Have you checked if the value is empty( ) before attempting to create the optional approval? My guess is your error references this.

    Is your second approval inside of a condition?  If so, can you post a screen shot of the condition with as much detail as possible.
