Hi, I tried to make a change to one of my approval steps and now I am no longer getting the email which approves the flow. How do I reinstate a previous succcessful flow . See screen shot below which shows the flows which where successful and the ones that are not. I just want to reinstate a previous successful flow. Thanks

I do not think that feature exists. If you exported your flow or have a solution with the old version, you could import it back to your environment.

If you don't have that, the best option is to open a previous run, and try to replicate it, unfrotunately expressions won't be visible there.

Hey @LM123

@LuisArellano is totally correct here. Versioning is not present in Power Automate currently.

Its there in Power Apps, by which you can revert back to a previous version.

But in Power Automate its not currently present. Hopefully in future they add versioning to Power Automate too.

For future whenever you are thinking to make a design change in your flow, always make a copy of it first, then only make changes to it, so whenever you want to revert back to a previous version you can do it easily.

To make a copy just click on three dots of the flow and click on save as. Then a copy of you flow would be created.

I hope this helps.

@LuisArellano @Sundeep_Malik thanks both for your emails. While I have you both here how do I fix the flow. I have attached the successful flow steps and the unsuccessful flow. I am unsure what steps I need to take to revert to the successful flow - please see attached images of a successful approval flow and failed approval flow. Thank you

@LM123

Can you show the failed flow in edit mode?

Thanks @Sundeep_Malik - I have attached a screen shot and pasted the edit mode of the flow into this chat. Does this help?

If you see above in apply to each you are adding three things.

Apply to each action in power automate corresponds to a loop in any other language like a for loop in Java language.

In that if you see you just pass 1 array in it. Not 2-3 arrays at the same time. Likewise here also you can only send one array in it. But if you see you have added three things in it.

But I think in your case you apply to each is not actually required.

Do you want to do this:

A form is filled.

Then an approval is send to the approver.

Then you want to send the response details to someone.

If not can you explain your scenario and share your entire flow, I will restructure it.

So, do the following changes in your flow:

Delete the apply to each action, by clicking on three dots.

Just directly add response in the email.

If you want comments from approval part, just select the responses comment. This will not add an apply to each loop. [ Probably in your case you selected comments coming from microsoft forms which created an extra apply to each loop]

I hope this helps 🙂
