Update items in my flow is not working

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by karl_oliverio 228

Hi,

 

I am currently working on my flow. After the "start an approval 2" action, if it is approved it will update an item on the library. Under this update item action i have a debugger action "send an email" just to check if the update item works, if i received an email it works and if not it doesnt.

 

I am a bit lost right now because i cant find any errors on my flow but the update item is not working.

    If your are updating a library, you should use the Update File Properties action and not the Update item action.

     

    If this addresses your issue, please mark your solution as solved.
