Posted on by Community Power Pla...

Hello Team, 

 

I am new to flow and SharePoint, but with online resources i have completed one project with 90% success. 

I get this error  'Set_content_approval_status' failed when i test my flow process. i receive my email that i set up for notification but my approving manager who does not receive any e-mail for his approval. 

 I have confirmed in Outlook and the approving manager is setup as my line Manager correctly.

i dont know if you understanding, but basically where my flow is failing is the step on "Set Content Approve Status" 

grateful if help comes my way. 

 
 

Thank you

Dmensah

    Hi @Anonymous ,

     

    Could you please share the screenshot of the configuration of your flow?

    Please make sure that you allow content approval for the submitted items in the library:

    Then you could refer to screenshot below to create the flow:
