Flow/PowerAutomate: Send email function cannot be created under Apply To Each 9.

Posted on by

Hi,

 

I'm doing multi-level approval flo.w. Up until now I have no issue with 1st and 2nd approval to use the send email function. But when I try to add another send email function under 3rd approval that already under nesting number 0 which is Apply To Each 9, there is an error 'The power logic flow was invalid. The template actions 'Send_an_email(V2_4)' are nested at level '9' which exceeds the maximum nesting limit of '8''.

 

Can anything can be done to eliminate this limitation? This is due to I might need more than that. Currently targeting doing up until 5 level approval. More email function need to be performed.

 

Kindly advice.

    Hi @Anonymous,

     

    Unfortunately, there is no way to eliminate this limitation of the nesting level. Please refer to this document about limitation:

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/limits-and-config#definition-limits

    As a workaround, you can create a B Flow to receive the response of A Flow (the first Flow you create), to create more approval, for example:

    A Flow -> HTTP request

    When an HTTP request received-> B Flow

     

    Firstly, you should create B Flow, after saving it, it will generate a URL:

    Annotation 2019-11-25 100145.png

     

    Annotation 2019-11-25 100212.png

    Then create an HTTP post in Flow A, and paste the URL of Flow B into it:

    Annotation 2019-11-25 100343.png

     Then Flow A will trigger Flow B after performing the last action, pass these parameters could do in the Body of HTTP action, you can use the method to create more levels of Approval.
