Approvals - resend approval

Posted on by 299 Moderator
I'm new to the Approvals system, just noticed that if I have a 'send weekly chasers to see if action was taken' cannot have another 'Approval' action, as you would then end up with duplicated approvals (and some could never receive an answer)
 
I read somewhere that you can store the link and send that link in your weekly chasers, the problem is when you open that link, the user sees a long list of their approval requests and the form to approve it is very small (picture attached)
 
I can't seem to resend the original email with the original buttons, what are the best approaches? 
 
I also tried 'Send an email with buttons' - the look is bizarre and unsure if I can track answers as good as Approvals
 
I also tried briefly adaptive cards, although no straight forward way of sending it via email / track response as far as I can see
 
Thank you

    I only have a few minutes to reply before I need to go to a meeting, but you need to use both the Create an approval action and wait for an approval action. When you do this, you will have access directly to the approval link that you can send to the assignee as a reminder e-mail. You would basically set it up like below. In the e-mail in the do until reminders action, the link to the reminder is named responder link (second image):

    Thank you David, did you experience any throttling in Production environment if you have too many 'wait for an approval' lingering in the background? 
     
    We haven't tested it just yet and we are wondering whether building an app to close the actions manually would be better for performance issues
     
    Microsoft seems to advise that it's designed to be efficient but I wonder whether it takes up resources in the background

    I have not experienced any throttling issues yet with our current volume. As far as I am aware, Power Automate doesn't throttle flows pending approvals since the approval data is stored in Dataverse.
