Approval workflow with approver outside my organization

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by TorbenPedersen 2

Hi

 

I'm having an issue with Approval Flow when approver that has to submit a Approval/Rejection is outside my organization.

OWA user get this error : "The remote endpoint returned an error (HTTP Unauthorized)".

I have read elsewhere that it is not possible to have users outside my organization replying on Pending approvals.

Is there any way to get around this?

Could a solution be to implement Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) B2B collaboration and invite guest users from outside my organization to join?

    Hi @TorbenPedersen，

     

    The function to assign approval to approver outside the orgnization is not supported in microsoft flow currently.

    I afraid that there is no way to achieve your needs in Microsoft Flow currently.and there is no any way to imply Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) B2B collaboration and invite guest users from outside the organization to join.

     

    If you would like this feature to be added in Microsoft Flow, please submit an idea to Flow Ideas Forum:

    Best reagrds,
