Error when approving from Outlook

Posted on by wickedknight86

Hi,

 

I saw a similar issue you guys posted a few years ago.

 

https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Connecting-To-Data/Approval-email-quot-The-requested-action-could-not-be-completed/td-p/28759/page/2

 

I'm having issues approving Flow. I'm getting this error when I click approve or reject "Could not complete requested action. Please try again later.". It was working last week but now I can't seem to approve or reject anything.

Has anyone encountered this issue?

 

I have updated the security roles to be System Administrator and it still did not work.

    Hi @wickedknight86 ,

     

    There's an debugger add-on you can install in your Outlook (I have used it on desktop)

    Install the add-on and execute the flow again, then, when the email arrives click on the "Debugger" button located in the "Home" section of the ribbon in Outlook:

    There should be a few sections with information

    Check if the Diagnostics section provides any relevant information,

     

    Let us know how it goes!
