Do until loop check List Rows, with a filter

Hello,

I have built a sequential approval flow with a parallel branch to check the list rows for a response in a Do until loop. I have added a filter msdyn_flow_approvalresponseidx_approvalid eq '@{toupper(outputs('Create_an_approval')?['body/name'])}' and owninguser/internalemailaddress eq ' @{items('Apply_to_each_5')?['assignedTo']}'. It comes back with a "[]" response when run, but the value does not change even when a responder has approved the item. For the condition I have

length(outputs('List_rows_from_selected_environment_2')?['body/value']) = 0.  This is "true" for no responders, but it does not change when responded to. 

Am I checking for the wrong value in the condition step? How do I check for responses?

I am not sure I follow what you are doing. It is best to show your flow when posting a question to avoid confusion. However, I think you're wanting to get the response from an approval action. If you are using the action Start and wait for an approval, the response is sent back from that action in the dynamic content as Outcome.

If you are using Create an approval instead, you need to follow the action with Wait for an approval and configure it with the ID from the Create an approval action. The response is then sent from the Wait for an approval action as Outcome. For example:

Hi David,

My flow looks very similar to yours you posted, but my Do until approval link is not working. The get rows filter is from that section and currently is sending email out to everyone regardless if they have responded. I have tried to to use the Output as Approval ID from create an approval, but it says that the output is not an array. Any suggestions?
