Flow Fails when Rejecting "Start and wait for an approval"

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by huffmaster 22

I have a flow with a "start and wait for an approval" step and it runs fine if the approval is accepted, however if it is rejected it fails.

Below is what the approval and condition look like in the designer, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here.  Any help would be much appreciated.

    Can you show us the Yes and No branches after the condition.  Its not the condition itself that is failing.  Its one of the actions after the condition is evaluated.  Since its the Reject that is causing the problem its probably the 'No' branch.

    In addition to the yes and no branches, can you also post the actual error message please.

    Just going through the No condition as you suggested told me enough to fix it, there was a syntax issue on my end.  Thank you so much for pointing me in the right direction.
