How to Identify and Terminate a Specific Approval Workflow from Another Flow

Posted on by hyonta

I'm creating an approval workflow using Power Automate for SharePoint Online.

I would like the workflow to be closed when the user presses the "Cancel" button in PowerApps while waiting for the first approver to approve.
In order to do this, I think I need to create another Flow that will work when the "Cancel" button is pressed.

Is there any way to find the workflow that is pending?
I would be very grateful for any idea/pointers.

To create a flow that would cancel an existing approval you need to know what the approval ID is. That will be available in the flow that creates the approval. But I'm not sure how you would gain access to it in another flow.
