How to delete the flow when the approval is not being viewed or responded for long time.

Hi,

 

I want to delete the flow inside the Flow itself so that when the approval email is not been responded for 2 days it gets deleted. Terminate is not working correct as it may be visible for the other users . In Conditions I can see only for Approved, succeeded, Failed scenario. How can set delete Flow scenario?

    Hi @v-alzhan-msft ,

     

    In run history i can only find selected option not the responded user.

    Could you please send the screen shot hot to achieve responded user information from "send an email with options".

     

    Regards,

    Jigar Sao

    Hello @CFernandes 

    The requirement is wanted to use “Send an email with options” instead of “Approval” and would like to know if there is a way to capture who has responded on “Send an email with options”.

     

    Let me know if the above is achievable.

    Thanks

    Hi @pre ,

     

    You could take a try to create the flow with the "send an email with options" action, and then check from the flow run history to see if the responded user information could be available.

     

    Best Regards,

    Alice

    @pre You can use the "Response Summary" the output of the Approval action.

    Hello @CFernandes 

     

    Thank you . But may I know how to capture user information who has responded on send an email with options as I will be using "Send an email with options" instead of "Approval"

    Hi @pre ,

     

    I assume your end goal is to Cancel the approval, if yes, unfortunately it is not possible. To be honest it will be a good functionality to have so lets up-vote the idea at   https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Power-Automate-Ideas/Action-to-cancel-approval/idi-p/256792
