Approval Flow returning false even when "Approved"

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 27

Hi,

 

I copied this Flow from a template and made a few tweaks to it. The issue I'm having is I'm getting a false output from the approval response, from both an Approved and Reject answer.

 

Is there some dynamic content that I'm missing on the condition?

 

I've noticed similar results from other Flows I have been working on, where the logic almost seems flipped.

    Ok, fixed it

    All the videos I saw used the field Response in the condition

    changed it to 'Outcome' and flow works as expected

    Hi

    I have same issue however I am entering the wording = Approve 

    In the flow code it confirms that the response is :

    "outcome": "Approve",
     But in the condition the expression result is false

    To keep it simple I am using the template triggered by PowerApps: Send approval and follow up via email 
    any help appreciated

    Hi @jg224 ,

     

    Please just change the condition to “Response is equal to Approve”.

     

    Because the return result of the approval action is Approve/Reject, but not Approved/Rejected.

     

    I have started a flow from this template, the original condition is also configured as “Response is equal to Approved”. Then I changed the Approved to Approve, it works as expected.

    I will help report this issue on my side.

     

    Best regards,

    Mabel
