Hello Guys,

I've an approval flow which triggers when an item is created in the Document Library. But when i enter few optional fields while creating an item, flow triggers but email is skipped not sure what's happening this strange behavior.And when i check the item in the SharePoint lib the values are updated to default value as "None".

 

But when i leave the optional fields and enter the mandatory fields the flow works without any issues.

 

Note: My lib has content type(with set of fields Ex: Org type,Doc category...)

Please find attached snapshots.

    Can you expand Flow configuration?

    thanks for your response. I've used Create items with Prop's > Get item with properties for the library which resolved the issue.
