I want reminder email to reassign when an Approver reassigns Approval

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by 37

I'm updating an existing Power Automate approval flow. I've Added a Do Until that sends a reminder email to the approver every 15 days until they either approve or reject. The "To" field is set to dynamic content of the approver email.

 

I discovered that, when an approver reassigns the approval to another user. The first approver continues to get the reminder email.

Any ideas on how to have the reminder email follow the approver reassignment?

 

If a Power Automate approval is reassigned, that reassignment data must be stored somewhere that I could reference dynamically. I can't find it in the Dataverse.

    @adammparmenter thank you for the response this is so annoying. I may have to turn the reassignment off - unfortunately  I have 700 instances of the child flow running 😞

    @melanietully, It does not appear that there is a simple way to reassign reminder emails.  This item is currently infoPath / Power Automate.   Will be replacing it with Power Apss. At that time, I'll keep the Current Approver in a table in the dataverse and reference it for reminder emails.  Hence, the reminder will go to whoever is the approver.

    Hello did you figure this out as I have the same issue when using a parent and child flow the original assignee keeps receiving the reminder emails
