Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hi

I have created an vacation approval flow from a sharepoint list, and the flow works well. My problem is that no matter who in my team creates a new list item, the e-mail sent to the chosen approver always states in the "waiting for approval" e-mail, that the request is made by me....., it has my name and e-mail address.

    Hi Nikketi,

    Could you please share a screenshot of your flow's configuration?

    I think what you want is adding the message of the person who made the new item. I have made a flow for your scenario, please check it for a reference.3.png4.png

    Please feel free post back if you need more help.

    Best regards,

    Zhonys
