What might cause a Flow to successfully run at later time hangs on later run...

What might cause a Flow to successfully run at later time hangs on a later run...

the "Start and Wait for an Approval" step, with no Approval email sent out.

First test ran successfully with no problems all I did was added more next-steps and now I don't even see any email sent out.

I have the same question (0)

    @tddttran 

    Have you checked the flow run history ? Does the flow checker shows any errors?

    @tddttran 

    Can you share flow history, are you sure the approval email hasn't been sent?

    Here's the screenshot.

    The approval email hasn't been sent. I have been waiting for it

    @tddttran 

    Can you open the flow instance and share it?

    I am sorry if I wasn't clear enough can you please open the flow run history instance that you see running so we can see the execution of steps.

    Sorry I am new to this...

    You were clear enough I just didn't know I could see the instance.

    Also I just ran another test and it ran through fine.

    and didn't change anything so I don't know why this one instance is hanging

    @tddttran 

    I would say it might be a once off glitch so I would suggest giving it a bit more testing and see how it goes.
