Workflow runs but none of the actions are executed

Hey all,

My approval workflow, when tested, shows that it is running with no errors. However, the actions that should occur (the status is changed and approval emails are automatically generated) are NOT occurring. Any ideas about why this occurring?

Re: Workflow runs but none of the actions are executed

Ok, I rebuilt the table and determined that I had formatted the "lookup" column incorrectly. Now the workflow runs, so YAY! The problem I am having now is with the flow auto-incrementing through the users. If I can't figure it out, I will open a new discussion. thanks for your help everyone!

Re: Workflow runs but none of the actions are executed

mgrachi,
Here is the expanded look at "Get approvers". The users are being pulled from another list called DOA Approvers. A filter query has been set up to look for a the "Expense" category name in the DOA Approval Log List and find the matching name in the DOA Approvers List and use the group of approvers in that list for the workflow.

Here's something that seems curious to me: the very first thing that should happen is the status of the request should change from "new" to "pending". That is is not happening. Then, moving on, none of the other actions are executing either, although the workflow is running with no errors. Could this be related to how the workflow is connecting to the SharePoint list?

Hi there, what do you have inside "Get approvers" seems like the approvers list is not generating any results and that is why the Apply to each step is not excecuting.

Can you provide screenshots of what is inside the two loops during a run?
