Power Platform Community Forum Thread Details

Hello,

It's my first experience on Power Automate, I started building an approval flow.

The idea here is :

Someone post a document on a SharePoint list (the document is attached to this new entry) with a defined link to a process, this trigger the flow.
The flow check the process of the document (it's a code we use in our company), go on an other SharePoint list and takeout the e-mail of the reviewer (I considered that they can be 2 or more) depending of this process number.
They send an approval request to these person (first to respond is enough)
Once flow is ok :
1. I inform the submitter of the document
2. Take the actual time, change it in the good time zone
3. Take the attachment in the list and copy it in a folder (our document management lib), add all the necessary information for managing and filtering these documents.
4. Change the status of the approval in the first list and add the information about the comments, approver name and time in a column

All the last step where working fine till I add the multi approver part.

I get these issues :

Every time I used an output of the approval (approver name....) it create an "apply to each" loop. I even tried to put the "string" and "first" function to be sure to get only one element and not in an array form but in a string form, it don't seem to work.

ActionFailed error appear on my condition but it still work fine as plan

UPDATE : This happened only when the flow was not ending correctly (-> see the error of the convert time zone), but in normal condition it work fine

I've error with time zone conversion (output of actual time is ok, input said it's null !!!), I even tried to enter manual value and it fail...

UPDATE : I solved this issue by adding something in 'format string', it was working fine without it before, don't know why it needed it now.

I was afraid something was wrong so I created this flow again from 0, I've still the same issue, I even tried to remove this multi approver part but I still have all the issue above.

Can someone have an idea of the problem(s) and could help me ?

Everything was smooth and clear 2 days ago, but yesterday I spent my all day experimenting and looking on forum without success. It's quite frustrating to not be able to reproduce correctly without issue something that worked smoothly.

Thank you 🙂
