Approval conector does not wait for an answer

Hello everyone,

I have created a flow with some contidions and I need to wait for someone's approval and them send an email to the person who submitted the procedure with the answer.

The problem is that in one of the conditions, even if it gets true, the flow is running successfully, without any error and does not send the request to the approvers.

I selected the option "Start and wait for a response". And in the other conditions, the flow is working, sending the e-mail and waiting for an approval. I do not know why with this specific condition it is executing directly.
I have already checked the email of the approvers, my email, the attachment, alsoI have already deleted and redid the condition several times, but honestly I do not know what is happening. Has anyone been through something like this? aguardar resposta.JPG true flow.JPG

Hi @Anonymous,

How do you configure the Condition 2 action?

Is the action "Obter conteudo do anexo" is Get attachment content action?

If so, the Send Approval request action not execute is caused by the "Obter conteudo do anexo" not run. Could you please share this action configuration too?

Hello,

Yes, the "Obter conteudo do anexo" is the Get attachment content.

I will share how I did the whole action here:

First I choose the - Get attachement from my sharelist "Obter Anexos"
Then "Get the attachement content" - Obter conteúdo do anexo 2 and it automatically goes into an apply each " Aplicar a cada Aprovação ES"
And finally my approval connector.

Hi @Anonymous,

OK, the Get attachment action not run means there is no attachment in the item, I guess the attachment is too large and needs time to upload after an item created.

So the solution is to add a delay action under the trigger, then get the last item by using Get item action, then loop this item and attach the file to the Approval request:

The delay did not work alone. Neither there nor in the beginning. I tested some possibilities and what worked best was to set to define a random variable that will not be used later, so that the flow "enters" the condition and performs the application to each one. Because it looked like it was going straight through the condition.
