Change the default environment for approvals?

(12) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 96

Is it possible to change the default selected environment for power automate approvals?

 

Our solutions create approvals in other environments (e.g. Production Environment). When users open the approvals app in Teams they only see approvals from the default environment. They have to change the environment first to see the other approvals.

 

Is there a way to make this change permanent or to assign another default environment for some users?

    It could be any flow creating an approval in a solution in an environment. The flow is not the problem. The issue is that we have lots of environments. The user has to select the correct environment every time:

    Did you find a solution on this issue?  I'm also searching on this issue.

    No, we haven't found a solution. This feature is still missing.

    Gruering. Separate item but same zone. Hoping you may know.  I haven't been able to find any answers regarding how to not have email approvals take you to the Power Automate Portal.  Do you know what setting or how to make it so when you click approve via email, it will just approve the item instead of taking you to Power Automate Portal?

    This needs to be fixed as it's a major usability issue.

    I didn't see an idea logged for it, so I created one. Please take a moment and upvote this.

    Microsoft please implement a option to set a default environment in the teams approval app for all users or O365 groups in sepcific tenant. So users do not have to select PROD environments day by day. 

    Would be nice to have this option in Teams Admin center oder Power Platform Admin center.
