Creating an approval flow where the outcome must be approve

Hi, 

 

I'm fairly new to Power Automate. I'm looking to have an approval process where Person A drafts an email for example. Person B will revise that email and approve or not if the email is good to be sent to Person C. If Person B says that the email is not good to be sent out, then that email returns to Person A with the approval comments from Person B. Thus, Person A must edit the email and send it again to Person B for revision. This cycle must repeat until Person B has approved the email. Is that doable with Power Automate? If so, how?

 

Quick Note: I'm using email as an example. However, things like a word document might require the same process.

    Hey @Anonymous 

    This could be possible but that would take a lot of effort to do it. Instead just keep it simple. 

    For example, in a SP list you can go to settings and open a column, I am not able to remember the name or settings for it. But with it, whenever a person uploads something, the status shows, draft. Then the person clicks on send for approval and the status changes to pending. So, by this you can make 2 approvals. First sent to person B. If he approves it, it goes to person C. If Person B rejects it's, the column would say rejected. Then the person will get notification that the document is rejected. 

    The person can upload the document again.

    Keep it simple only. Don't make it complicated. 

     

    You can watch the following video for reference:
