My "Start ans wait for approval" action is raising this error:-

BadRequest. The request failed. Error code: 'InvalidApprovalRequestor'. Error Message: 'The approval requestor must be a single, valid user account within your organization.'

Although i am using valid accounts. here is the SharePoint form which triggers the MS Flow:-

Here is the Error:-

Here is the "Start and Wait for approval":-

Any idea why i am getting this error?

Thanks

Hello @johnjohn123 ,
from the error message I'd say it's problem with the 'Requestor' field (which is not visible on your screenshot), not with the 'Assigned to'.

I have the same issue. The flow has been running for a a couple of years, with dynamic requestor.
The payload is correct; aka. valid user's email. But lately it has start to fail.
Setting a static email address works well. But that's an inferior solution for me.

Any change to the API? Bug?

I started to encounter the same problem, nothing works, "Start and wait for approval" and "Create an approval" won't work even though I tried both the email option and person column. I have no idea what to do, the old flow that I created a week ago is still running well, but the new ones won't let me do it. Hope I can find solutions.

I'm now having the same issue even though I pull emails from a SharePoint list of users in my organization. It worked for like a day before it started to fail. No idea why.
