Hi,

I am working on an approval workflow that is triggered when an item is selected. Instead of "Approve" and "Reject" buttons in the Start and Wait for Approval, I need "Approve" and "Deny". When the "Reject" button was selected, the status/outcome would show "Rejected". However, when I changed the button to "Deny", the status/outcome shows "Deny" instead of "Denied". I can't figure out where and how to make this change.

Thank you 🙂

Hi @merlange11 ,

Please try and use Switch control and save the desired result to a variable based on different approval results.

Best regards,

Re: How can I make my custom Deny button in approval flow, show as "Denied" in status/outcome?

Hi Jeffer Ni,

I just want to make sure that the 2nd screenshot image is a closeup of the 1st screenshot image?

I will give this a try. I'm using an approval flow triggered from a selected file in OneDrive. I have to replace Condition with Switch.

Case 1 replaces If yes, so I can add Send an email V2 as the next step?
Case 2 replaces If no, so I can add Send me an email notification as the next step after Compose?

I will let you know how that works out. Have a good evening.

Thank you,

Hi Jeffer Ni,

I replaced Condition with Switch but the status/outcome still doesn't show Denied. I have attached screenshots that it still shows as "Deny" in both MS Teams status and and Power Automate Approval outcome. Am I mistaken that your 2nd screenshot was a close up of the 1st screenshot. Is the Switch *On Outcome different from the Switch Inputs Deny? Any clarification will be appreciated.

Thank you 🙂

Hi @merlange11 ,

The approval outcome will always be one of the options you set in Approval action, using Switch just convert the outcome to your desired result and show/display it somewhere you need.
