Flow Keeps Failing

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

I'm trying to use an approval flow that also uses Teams. Everything I looked up said I need to use the Create Approval and then the Teams adaptive card, followed by the wait for approval. Every time I run the flow it fails because 'Cannot wait on this approval in its current state.'. Which I guess means that the approval is complete in the seconds before the wait for approval can kick in. is there any way around this?image.png

    Hi @Anonymous 

     

    I can suggest that you move the Past adaptive card in a chat or channel before the Create an approval Action like this

    Because I replicate your flow and I get the same error

    When I try to move my adaptive card it says I cannot move because it relies on the process above. The adaptive card I am using is for the approval. Is there another way to run this with teams involved that I am missing.

    I realized my error. When searching for the second "wait for approval" ID it was auto filling the first created approval ID. After renaming each step it became easier to find the correct approval ID.
