Hello,
I have a SharePoint List, and each item has three columns: Manager Approval / Admin Approval / Request
What I want to do is to create a flow which sends an Approval Request to the Manager (if he does not accept it, remind him every x days), then, if the Manager accepts it update the Manager Approval column and send another Approval Request to the Admin (if he does not accept it, remind him every x days), then, if the Admin accepts it update the Admin Approval column, and in the end update Request column.
Until now, I have the following workflow:
1) When an item is created
2) Get User's Manager
3 and 4) Initialize two variables ApprovalManager and ApprovalAdmin
5) Create an Approval For Manager
5a) Wait for approval from Manager 5b) Do until ApprovalManager is equal to True
6a) Set variable ApprovalManager to True 6b) Delay 3 minutes
7a) Condition Outcome is equal to Approve 7b) Condition ApprovalManager is equal to false
8a) Update item column Manager Approval 8b) Send reminder with link for approval
9a) Create an Approval for Admin
10aa) Wait for approval from Admin 10ab) Do until ApprovalAdmin is equal to True
11aa) Set variable ApprovalAdmin to True 11ab) Delay 3 minutes
12aa) Condition Outcome is equal to Approve 12ab) Condition ApprovalAdmin is equal to false
13aa) Update item column Admin Approval 13ab) Send reminder with link for approval
This workflow works fine, but not till the end. If I don't approve the request, I get an email remainder every 3 minutes. I click the link from the reminder, it opens the sharepoint request on the right side of the window and I can select "Approve", then the Admin gets the new request... if the Admin does not approve it in that timeframe, an email reminder is sent to him... And here's the problem:
If the Admin accesses the link from the reminder, it opens the request on sharepoint in a tab on the right side of the window and he gets a pop-up "The request is no longer active"... If he clicks the X button, he can see the request in his list and accept it from there. Then, his column is updated in the Sharepoint list, together with the
How is this happening? The initial Approver can flawlessly approve it from the window tab, but the 2nd one encounters that error, but still can approve it after closing the error? How can I fix this?
Thanks in advance!
