Capturing Approvers Responses (Comments) and store in SharePoint List

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

Hello,

 

I have created a flow for Approval Process.

In my scenario, i have 2 approvers (RM and DO):

During the approval process, RM and DO will receive a notification and each of them needs to input their comments/responses, and what i want to achieve is to store each of their responses/comments in my SharePoint List like this:
Approver 1: RM responses - "All good. Approved"
Approver 2: DO Responses - "Approved. go ahead"

 

for as long as the SP list will capture their responses for me to fill in to my Power App form to the "Comments" column/fields. please see screenshot below:

Thanks you for your help! Happy New Year! 🙂

    Add an initialize variable after the trigger to store the comments. Then after each approval store the Approver and comments in the variable.  In your flow you'll do that twice.  Then add the variable to the comments field when you update the SharePoint item.

    This is a demo I built on a document library, but the process is the same.

    Comments are appended to a string variable and then saved to a multiline text column in the SharePoint list.

    You can easily capture the responses in a column you add to the SharePoint list when you update the item. But there is no way to capture and display the responses as a separate line in the list the way your drawing shows it.
