Posted on by ajithsrc 6
Hi All,
 
I have a flow with set of approvers (varapprovers) linked to a sharepoint list. Recently i added a new member to the list. But the new approver is not getting any request, and i can find following errors, please help or advice if  i need to create approvers again in flow. THanks Ajith
BadRequest. The request failed. Error code: 'InvalidApprovalCreateRequestAssignedToMissing'. Error Message: 'Required field 'assignedTo' is missing or empty.'.

    Can you share a screenshot of your current flow setup and also of the flow run? This will help troubleshooting.
     
    Btw, the error suggests that the Assigned to field of the Approval action is empty, which means whatever you are using in the setup does not contain an email.
