Hi,
Not very experienced, used a couple of other people's examples to build my flow. It works but would like to change it slightly.
Basically, it sends out the start and wait for approval to an array of people concurrently stored in a sharepoint list. It waits for all the approvals to return, counts how many approved and rejected. Looks up my sharepoint list to see how many approvals(quorum) are required for the item to be passed/approved and so on.
The issue is I don't want to wait for all the approvals to move on the flow. I want it to count the approvals as they are received and once the number of approved equals quorum I want it to move on to the next stage of the flow even if all the responses haven't been received. I'm well aware that the approvals will still be sitting in the individual's inbox that haven't responded but I will just send an email to the group saying the item has been passed/approved.
I still need to capture the responses and comments in an array to paste into my sharepoint column, on my uneducated reading 'start approval' and 'wait for approval' separately wouldn't capture these comments, but I could be mistaken.
Here is the section of my flow for the approval
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much.
Hi Tom,
Thanks so much for the response. Unfortunately, I don't have a premium licence/access to Dataverse but it's great to have as solution so I can possibly apply for this with my organisation. Thanks for the link to the resources I will be sure to check them out. Thanks again!
Hello @enutsy ,
you can track how many people approved and record their responses but not with the standard actions and the free Power Automate license.
As all the tasks and responses are stored in a Dataverse table, you can build an additional flow that'll monitor this table, wait for the desired number of responses, and close the task once they're reached. I explained the solution in this article.
