Can you explain your use case for this? If you know the one user you want as the approver, why can you not just put them in the approval action? It seems unnecessary to filter a group of names based on a known name when you could just enter the name into the approval in the first place.

Hi David, thanks for your reply. on Power Automate I am creating an approval workflow based on a sharepoint list.
the group members are more the 100, but only one user should approve the new item when created in the sharepoint list. probably I solve, I need to check/test, first I add one action the "List group members" office 365 groups, in order to select my sharepoint list, then I add another action Filter Array in order to select only the specific email adress to be used for the "Start and wait for an approval" action

I understand that, but I don't know why you need to filter the members with the person who needs to do the approval. Just assign the approval to the person you have in the filter. Is what you are showing in your screen shot not working for you? If not, check how Augusto's e-mail address is formatted in your system as the filter would be case-sensitive. If his first and last name are capitalized, you would need to format it that way on the right side of the filter. To avoid that, on the left side you could wrap the mail field in a toLower expression to format all of the e-mails as lowercase.

Side note: you should update your post and remove or blackout the e-mail address of Augusto for data privacy reasons.
