Is there any way of how to delegate Approvals in PowerAutomate?

Problem:

I can't see or manage approvals assigned to other users. Sometimes users are on vaccation, sick,leaving the company,etc. Flows which wait for approvals are stuck or run into a timout even.

I haven't found any solution so far to delegate an existing approval to someone else.

In Nintex Worfklows users and administrators where able to declare a replacement person for a given amount of time and Nintex would redirect approvals automatically to this specified person.

Hello SudeepGhatakNZ,

@Urben85 ,

Delegation is available in Power Automate but unfortunately you have to rely on the owner of the Task to delegate it. One cannot delegate it for you. I think you are looking at the possibility of an Admin doing it for the person who is sick or unavailable.

However, approvals are stored in a dataverse table called Approvals. You can change the assignee by updating the table but then you need a premium license.
