Hi,

 

i have used the action "start and wait for the approval" with approval type "first to response". I want the approver to appove in the email body itself without traversing to the flow dashboard.Capture.JPGcapture2.pngcapture3.png

    No i dont have it and i think this screenshot you get after the it is appoved.  I have used the action "start and wait for the approval" with approval type "first to response"., is that matters.

    Hi @priyankaR ,

     

    Is there a Show original message in Email? The email on my side contains actionable message and original message.

    Hi @priyankaR ,

     

    Do you mean that you did not receive a similar Approval email in Office 365 Outlook?

    Hi @priyankaR ,

     

    Have you tried accessing this link? I mean you need to access Office 365 outlook in your browser.

    What type of account do you use, is there a subscription for O365 Outlook?

     

    Best Regards,
