Approval Workflow - Everyone must Approve

(1) Share

Report

Posted on by clarkeasensi

I created a workflow using Start an approval when a file is added to Sharepoint. The workflow is working but when all the approvers approve the request the notification received by the person who submitted the request shows that the person did not approve the modification. Is there something wrong with the creation of my workflow? Can someone help me how to fix this.

Hi there,
It sounds like there may be an issue with the configuration of your workflow. Here are some things to check:

Configuration of the approval action in your workflow to ensure that the approvers are set up correctly. Make sure that all the required approvers are included and that the approval action is set to require all approvers to approve before the request is considered approved.
Configuration of the email notification that is sent to the person who submitted the request. Make sure that the email notification includes accurate information about the status of the approval request and who has approved it.
Permissions of the person who submitted the request in SharePoint. Make sure that the person has the necessary permissions to view the approval status of the request.
Configuration of any other actions or steps in the workflow to ensure that they are not affecting the status of the approval request.
If you are still having issues after checking these items, please include screenshots of the flow setup/configuration to help us better understand the issue.

Hope it helps !

Hi Mark,
I tried to submit the request and I approved it as well. This is the message that I received through the chat from power automate but when other approvers of the workflow are approving it the message is “Did not approve the modification”. Second is there a way that the person who submitted the request get a notification through email as well not just through a Teams Chat?

Hello @clarkeasensi ,
Have you tried using "Start and Wait for an Approval" action instead, here are some resources that you can check out:

Maybe you can try the second part like this:
