Power Platform Community Forum Thread Details

Good day everyone!

Power Automate/Apps newbie here, and I'm currently working on an Instant approval flow, which triggers with the press of a button on a selected item in Power Apps. This sends the form to whomever the requestor designates as their approver/s. The possible responses are "Approve", "Clarify", and "Reject", and it will keep repeating until they respond with Approve or Reject.

Condition: outputs('Start_and_wait_for_an_approval')?['body/responses'][0]['approverResponse']

Recently, I thought of a scenario where an 'approver' forgets to respond, which would cause the request to be overlooked. I saw some posts here, as well as on other sites, about using Create an Approval (With a parallel branch that checks on the status, and will send an email after the specified interval):

I want to merge these two concepts, and so far what I've tried is: Replaced the Start and wait for an approval with Create an Approval, then I added a parallel branch with the Do Until which will send an email, and Wait for an Approval has the "Condition - Comment !empty" and "Condition - Approval = Clarify" from the first image, under it.

However, when I test it out, the Do Until only runs once, then nothing else happens, so I end up cancelling the test. (It should work since I added a "Send an email" action which has the "Outcome" dynamic content in the body, and it shows the correct value to trigger another Do Until ("Clarify")).

Here's what the Do Until looks like:
