Approval Flow waited to longm

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hi everyone,

I am using the approval action to create approval flow. When the flow runs, I noticed that it took about 20-30 minutes to send the email to the approver. 

 

What is this happening? Is there's any way to solve this?

    Hi @Anonymous,

     

    Could you share your Flow configuration?

    I tested send Approval to myself, but not find the same issue.

    It may be a temporary issue, you could have a try to recreate a connection of the approval.
