Power Automate Flow to send an email with approval option only

Hi Power Apps/Power Automate gurus!

 

As someone who never used PA, I got an inquiry from the client if the following can be done:
  • There is a SharePoint list containing some data (important fields: "Data owner", "Data confidentiality")
  • Set the email that should be sent to "Data owner", based on the following logic: for "Data Confidentiality" A every 6 months, for "Data Confidentiality" B every 12 months
  • The "Data owner" should approve via this email the data deletion (separate workflow, not in the scope currently)
  • In case the "Data owner" hasn't approved, send a reminder email every 1 month later (until the "new" email of the next 6/12 month period is sent out)
  • The following attributes should be saved and updated in the SP list: "Last sent date"; "Last sent contact"; "Reviewed status current" (Y/N) -> set back to "NO" when an email from a new period is sent out; "Reviewed date current" -> set back to N/A when email from new period is sent out; "Reviewed status previous" (Y/N) -> contains the last valid state from previous period; "Reviewed date previous" -> contains the last date in which a review has been done
  • The email should only contain the "Approve" option - I've tried using the "Start and wait for an approval" action, but it offers only options that include "Reject" as well
Any suggestion would be highly appreciated.

    You'll need to use custom responses on the approval to only have an approve button
