How to automatically approve based on a specified condition of a Forms response?

Posted on by RyanNJ

I have a functioning flow where a user fills out a Form and then sends for approval. I would like to add an auto-approve function based on a condition of the user's response and if it doesn't meet that condition, continue with the current flow that requires a manual approval.

Hi there,

Is this for an out of the box Power Automate Approval in another flow? You can do it, but it's going to be a bit tricksy.

Check out this post by @TomaszPoszytek: Automatically Complete Approval Tasks in PA & MS Teams

For something simpler, it looks like the Community Support here has recommended decreasing the timeout of the Approval so instead of "auto-approval", it just moves on to the next action after X amount of time, doesn't really approve it.

(See here: https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Building-Flows/Set-initial-Approval-Response-to-Approve-auto/td-p/172117 )

Myself, I think I would go with the latter option opposed to the prior, for complexity vs value...

Cheers,

Rhia
