    Hi @swelihle ,
    What value does "Supervisor" holds?
    I would guess that it holds the GUID for that specific user, but the flow want an email, so if you can try to refer to the supervisors email instead I think it will work

    If it is a lookup column it just holds the Guid and the Name of the User, then you need to get the user email before that step, "Get row by ID", and get the email from there.

    Add the following step before the approval one in your flow

    Then in you approval flow you use the "Primary Email"-field from the previous step to extract the email.

    Hi,
    i guess you just could kinda duplicate the previous logic, add the table and the field to the Canvas App, then simply extend the Power Automate flow to send out a second approval by adding the a new "get row by ID" step followed by a new approval, right a after your current approval.
