Approval flow is having to wait for a response before next item is processed

Posted on by damiosiks 165

Hi, 

Please i would need an insight to solving this problem.

I have created an approval flow that uses a sharepoint list. However once the list is updated, it would only send one approval email and until the approval is done, it wouldnt the other approval email to the next recipient (next item on the list)

I would want to send the emails to each recipient on the list concurrently

    Hi @damiosiks 

     

    I suggest to you use something like that. Create a variable to save the Approval Emails from the List and after the Appy to each action add the Start and wait for an approval

    Let me know when you try it, or you need something else.
