Hello!

I am new to Power automate. So, please bear with me. 🙂

I am trying to automate the news post-approval requests for SharePoint. [ customizing-sharepoint-page-approvals-to-your-needs ]

This workflow should auto approve the news post if the requester is a Manager but I am getting a 'Bad Gateway Error'.

Please help!

Thanks

Vaneet

Re: Auto approve news post on SharePoint page.

Hi @sharmav ,

I found something relates to this error message within similar scenario:

https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Building-Flows/502-bad-gateway-in-quot-set-content-approval-status-step-quot/td-p/321502

Quote:

It seems that you need to change the Approval Status to "Pending" using the option "Submit" (as shown above) before you could change it to "approved" with the flow. Changing it directly from "Draft" to "Approved" will give you the above shown error.

Hope this helps.
