Problem with the email after approval

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hi, I recently created a flow to approve a document with sharepoint for the company where I work. 
When the approver sent the response, the flow notificate the person who ask for the approval by email if it was approved or rejected but in the top of it appears my name. The thing here is that I just created the flow for others but I'm not the approver and I don't ask for the approval, so I would like to know if there is a way to change it in order to no create confusions. 

My name is the one underlined with red. 
Thank You.

    Hi @Anonymous,

     

    I think you are using Send an email action to send the approval result email to Requestor, and the connection to this action using your account, so your name will be displayed.

    I am afraid there is no good way to achieve your needs.

    The only suggestion is that the connection of Send an email action uses a different account, and this account is not the one that will confuse others.

    You could also write the details of the message in the subject and body, for example, which Approver is approved, Approver information, and what requests etc.
