    Hi @jaina ,

    According to your description, you would like to set up timeout for approval and generate an auto response.

    If that’s the case, we need to configure Timeout settings for approval action.

     

    Here is the flow:

    PT60M here equals to approval timeout in 60 mins if no one replied. If you want other time expression, you can go to ISO 8601 website at the last of my response.

    For detailed information you can also refer below video:
