    @TDaniels 

    Here is an example using and Office Group.  You will use the variable for the approver in the Approval action.

    If your group is an Azure (Entra) AD group, do the same thing but use a Entra AD Get Group Members action instead of the Office 365 Groups List Group Members action.

    Can you point me to any online steps to "loop through the group members and append the email addresses to a string variable that is semicolon delimited"? Or do you have the steps on hand?

    Sorry - I thought that you were sending an email. I see now that you are referring to an Approval email.

    Using a group for the approver has some limitations.  Here is a link where you can go to verify that your groups are set up properly.

    It may work better for you to loop through the group members and append the email addresses to a string variable that is semicolon delimited. Then use the variable as for the approver.

    I've tried to manual enter the mail enabled group email in the email address field and it still won't send any emails. It will send emails to regular email accounts.

    @TDaniels 

    Can you post a screen shot of your Flow including the send an email action in design view?

    Also, can you post a screen shot of a completed run of your Flow?

    Can you check your sent email folder?  Does the sent email appear there?

    Thank you Scott, I am able to send an email from Outlook and it works fine. But when I put that same Email group in the Approval Power Automate no one in the group gets the email.

    You should be able to use the Send an Emil (Office 365 Outlook) action to send an email to any valid email address.

    Are to able to open Outlook and successfully send an email to the groups you mention?
