Posted on by Loevbo

Hello,

 

I ran into a little problem regarding MS Flow Approval/"Start an approval". After the setup and test of it, it does send the approval mail. but for some reason, the mail contains a name that I did not specify to be included anywhere. 

 

setup approval

 

In the image below You can see it says:

 

CLA

from Carsten Løvbo Andersen

 

 

Is there some way to remove this information?

    Hi @Loevbo,

     

    Could you share a full screenshot of the flow? I am trying to reproduce this issue on my side.

     

    I have made a simple test, there is no From in the approval email body, it is Requested for instead in the original message part. Please check the following screenshot.
