select multiple document to approve from sharepoint online

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 150

Dear All Experts,

 

For my scenario, I want to select multiple documents in the Sharepoint document and then trigger the power automate for approval.

but I found that it allows only a single document and the point is on the Sharepoint document, I enabled "Document ID" to track the document.

Is there has any way to select multiple documents for approval?

    Hi mmchx,

     

    I created a sample flow as when a file is added to the folder, I am triggering approval for the entire folder. (assuming that's what your requirement is!)

    Below is my flow:

    I added the trigger as "When a file added to folder":

     For my flow as in the picture below, the trigger is correct, right?  I have already done as you said. The error appeared like this.

    Hi,

     

    1. Please select the folder.

    2. Press ... available in the menu

    3. Select Automate

    4. Your available flows are displayed

    5. Select the flow and run

    I have already tried that. It doesn't work and I got the error that "File not found". Is it work on your flow, how?

    Hi,

     

    One quick fix is, place the documents in a folder and initiate the workflow for the folder.
