Hello together,

this may be a fairly easy question to answer, but unfortunately I can't find a solution at the moment.
I have created a flow that is triggered by a specific column value in SharePoint and initiates an approval workflow that is sent to several people.
There are three custom responses, each of which generates an email to the person responsible after it has been answered.

At the end, after everyone has processed the approval request, the status in the SharePoint list of the element should be changed and a summary of all responses given should be sent in an email.

Now I have the following question/problems: Can I easily send a kind of reminder to the people who have not yet processed the request after a certain period of time? Unfortunately, it does not yet work as desired, i.e. sending the approval responses bundled in an email at the end. I assume that at some point in my flow I would have to cache the responses somewhere. Currently, I cannot access the responses as the actions are arranged.

Do you have any ideas or tips for me?

Thank you!

I don't know that having approvals in an apply to each will work very well, but if it is working for you, awesome. To send reminders, you need to do it like this:

By using the two separate approval actions, the create an approval action will provide you with the link to the approval, which you can then use in the reminder e-mail. The reminder needs to be in a parallel branch with the Wait for an approval action so they are both running together. The screen shot should provide enough details for you to set up the reminder, but let me know if you have specific questions.

Note: I send the reminders to the same people who were sent the approvals. I don't have any processes where I would need to figure out who has already responded as that is not how approvals work in my company. We work on approval levels - Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, etc. Each approval level only requires one person to either approve or reject and not everyone. Therefore, if there is no response, the reminder would need to go to everyone.

For the summary of the responses, you can do this:
