I've been asked to create a flow that will allow external users to perform approvals. Is this even possible with flow, and if so, how would one go about setting that up?
Hi @dkong, as far as I know there is no way to do this. If the assigned to email address is outside the organization you will get the error message shown in the image below.

Hi @dkong,

It only works for external users (not guest users)
External users are users invited to your AD
I just tested this feature out and it works fine in my tenant
