please help: Power Automate Approvals when there are multiple approvers

Posted on by 4

Hello all, I am new here but really need some power automate help. Thank you in advance for any tips or comments.
I am designing a power automate approval flow based on a task list in SharePoint. The SharePoint list has 4 columns, task name, preparer email, reviewer email and status. I have an app button in power app, once the preparer hit the button to submit the task to review, an approval email will be sent to the reviewers. There might be multiple reviewers in the cell of the reviewer column, I want to make sure the status will be updated to back to work if any one of the reviewers rejected the task. meanwhile, while the status is back to work, the other reviewers still can reject and share their comments. Once the preparer updated, then the preparer will need to submit again for approval and the status will be updated to completed only after every one of the reviewers approved. Is it possible to achieve in power apps? I designed a typical approval flow but the situation is, if one approver approved first, the task will be updated to completed no matter the other approver reject or approve. I have been struggling with this for a while, please help. Thank you.

    I am not sure I understand what you want to do, but what approval type are you using in Power Automate? From what it sounds like you want to do, you should be using Approve/Reject - Everyone must approve. This way, if one person rejects it, the approval will end. I think this is what you want to do so you can set the status back to work and then re-run the flow again once changes have been made. 

     

    Your last sentence of, "if one approver approved first, the task will be updated to completed no matter the other approver reject or approve," seems to indicate that everyone must approve. The option Approve/Reject - Everyone must approve will accomplish that.

    Thank you very much for your advice. I thought that is what I did but seems not working. Let me go back to double check my flow and then get back here. Thanks again for your time!
