Answering Approvals with 1 click in an Canvas APP

Hey there,

I got a finished and working Approval Process with Power Apps and Power Automate.

In Power Apps i have a approve/reject button in a gallery, who are linked to the SP List Item.

(On select property).

If you click on one button, it directly brings you to the Approval in powerautomate.com, where you can confirm the Approval. After that, the flow in the background finishes, since its on "wait for approval".

However, my employees asked me if i can approve directly on the approve/reject button in PowerApps, without getting to the Powerautomate page. While doing some research i found out you can do this through the "update row" in Dataverse through Power Automate. I made it work, that the Approval is being set to Approve/Reject. The problem is, that my approval flow is still running.

So i also tried to update the "Flow-Approval".

... still, my Approval flow is running. Even thought the Approval is "Approved" and inactive.

Does anyone know how i can make the flow to continiue?

Thanks in advance!

Ah wait you are using launch instead of calling the flow
You should call the flow
[FlowName].Run([Parameters])

They're doing it in MsTeams. They got an App where they see all Approvals pending (Status is being changed in the SP List. (This is for the approving Manager)

Yes with the "update row" in Dataverse i implemented a second button where i run the flow i posted above:

With this i just update the entry in the dataverse table. But the approval flow, where the Approval is being created, is still running. The goal is to approve/reject the approval AND the flow withing one click in Power Apps

If you update the Dataverse row of the approval to "Approved", the "wait for approval" action in Power Automate doesnt recognize that the approval is already approved:
