Approval workflow - Notification Email

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hello, I am having trouble with my Approval workflow. When an item is created on a SharePoint list it sends an approval request to the requestor's manager followed by an email after it's been either approved or rejected. The issue I am having is every time the manager approves/rejects the request, the requestor receives an email displaying that it's coming from me ( i am the flow creator but i am NOT the manager). How can I change my flow to where the approval/reject notification email displays the appropriate name/email? Please Advice.

    Hi @Anonymous ,

     

    Flow sends the email using the connection details of the Outlook connector. You would have provided your email when adding the connection.

    I use a generic Workflow account to configure emails.  like Flownotifications@companyname.com.

    You wouldn't be able to send an email as someone else unless you have access to their mailbox.

    You could use Send Email from a Shared mailbox.
