Approval Flow with two approvers - add apply to each before the second approval, then second approver can not receive email

Hi,

 

I created a flow with a approval flow with two approvals.

It's working without apply to each function.

 

 

1. When a file is created or modified

Condition:

If this column is null, it will send email

Else, start approval 1(Is Modified condition is used to avoid duplicate email)

 

2. Approval 1

Send email notification > Apply to each (Get approval response date and response comment and update the file in share point)

 

3. Approval 2

Same as above

 

This flow is working until approval 1 - apply to each, but does not sent email to second approval.1.JPG2.JPG

 

Thank you.

    @Vicky1 where is the IsModified in the condition getting its null or not null from because even a new file will have a Modified date.

    It's the condition 4 in the first picture.

    "null" means this file is not modified.

     

    In the following "apply to each", there's a "update the file" to update "not null" in "isModified" condition.

    I use this to avoid duplicate emails.

     

    Thank you.

    I was just asking where you were setting that but presumably it's a custom column in the document library.

    Hi @Vicky1 ,

     

    Could you show us the Flow run history?

     

    Does Flow perform actions in the If yes branch? If Condition is false, then the second Approval action will not be executed.

     

    Best Regards,

    Yes. IsModified is a custom column in the library.

    Yes. There's a failure in the approval 2.

    Hi,

     

    I just figured out this issue was caused by the wrong name of the column in approval 2.

    Really appreciate on your help!
