Folder Approval Double Request

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hello,

 

I am trying to create a folder approval flow so that when a sub-folder is added to my Pre-Approved folder, a request is sent out so that the contents can be viewed for approval or rejection. Right now, two requests are being sent out, one containing a link to the folder and one containing a link to the file in the folder. I only want the folder link to be sent out so that people do not get spammed with many approval links for larger folders. I've attached photos of my flow below.

 

Thank you,

 

Nick

    Hi @Anonymous ,

    You can check if the new item is Folder or not using "IsFolder" property:

    Hi @DeepakS ,

     

    Thank you for your help, that solution fixed the double request problem I was having. However, I am also getting both a cancellation and a successful run notification in my history. Something else must be wrong with my flow, any ideas? I've attached the updated picture and my run history below. Everything else I kept the same. The "Folder Check" condition was placed right before "Start and wait for an approval".

     

    Thank you,

     

    Nick
