How to send approval requests to groups

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by soraiataipa 68

Hi,

 

I've an approval request that is not sending email notification to group members. I work with an individual email but not group email.

 

Silent notifications appear on teams.

 

Any idea on how to enable emails? And how to make the notifications on teams not silent?

 

Thank you,

    Hi @v-xiaochen-msft ,

     

    Thank you for presenting the work around.

     

    I've build up the flow but at the approval it gives:

    "BadRequest. The request failed. Error code: 'InvalidApprovalCreateRequestAssignedToNoValidUsers'. Error Message: 'The required field "assignedTo" did not contain valid users in the organization'.

     

    However the emails it gets on the step "aply toe ach" are valid emails.

     

    Any idea?

     

    Thank you!

    Hi @soraiataipa ,

     

    I made a sample for you:

    Pick a group or enter group ID to get the group members.

    vxiaochenmsft_1-1668567090282.png

     

     

    Initialize variable to store the emails.

    vxiaochenmsft_2-1668567090283.png

     

     

    Use apply to each, append emails into variable.

    Use variable to send approvals to members of the group.
