Good Day,

I have a Leave request app and I'd like to implement reminders to managers to approve/reject the leave request. there is a flow already built and I just wanted to know where do i input this reminder and how...

The flow starts like this.

1. When an item is created (in sharepoint)

2. Get Item

3. Initialize Variable (any attachments)

4. Get Attachments

5. Apply to each 2 (Get attachment content -> append to array variable)

6. Get my profile (v2)

7. Send an email (v2) -> this notifies the person requesting the leave

8. Create an approval -> assigns it to the person the requestor chose

9.There are two branches here 1. Apply to each -> Post you own adaptive card as the flow bot to a user -> Wait for an approval or 2. Send an email -> Create an approval action failed to then terminate

10. Branching out from 1. above -> condition -> if status value is approve -> apply to each response to approve (inform requestor of approval via teams) -> update item in sharepoint -> send an email to the person requesting that the request has been approved.

I want to send reminders to the person who has to approve/reject the leave every day after the approval request was sent.

You can do this:

Add a Do until action as another parallel branch after the wait for an approval action.

Use an expression to have the do until action run until the outcome is not empty evaluates to true: not(empty(outputs('Wait_for_approval')?['body/outcome']))

In the Do until, add a delay for how long you want to wait before sending the reminder.

After the delay, add a condition to check the approval has been completed.

Depending on how you configure the condition, put the reminder e-mail on the side where it evaluates that the approval has not been completed.

When you do this, the flow will continue to run after the approval has completed until the delay in the do until passes so it can check if the approval has been completed. To end your flow so it doesn't wait on this, add a terminate flow action after your last action and set it to successful.

As done in the suggestion, I added the Do until loop under the Wait for an approval (V2), which is parallel to the condition (if Outcome of the approval is equal to Approve). In the do until loop, I've added a delay and a condition ( if status value is equal to pending), send a reminder email. For testing purposes, I set the delay to 3 minutes, but there was no email that was sent to me. How can i fix it? The attached documents shows the new layout of the flow.
