"Forbidden" error

Posted on 11 Oct 2024 07:24:03 by RayF 9
Hello,
 
I’m working on a flow using Power Automate that includes multiple approval steps. I’ve structured the flow with loops to send reminders if an approver doesn’t respond within 12 hours. I’m using the "Create an Approval" and "wait for an Approval" action and have set up a timeout to resend the approval request every 12 hours until the approver responds. The process works fine, but I’m facing two challenges:

I want to use the "Update a row" action in Dataverse to cancel any timed-out requests so that they don’t remain visible for the user. However, I keep getting a "Forbidden" error when trying to do this. I’ve double-checked my permissions and access to Dataverse, but the issue persists. Has anyone encountered this before or know how to resolve it?

Since the old approval requests aren’t canceled when the new one is sent, users sometimes respond to the outdated request. When they do, they receive a notification, but nothing actually happens because the system is only tracking the latest approval. This can be confusing for users, and I’d like to ensure that when a new request is sent, the previous one is either canceled or made invalid so that users don’t mistakenly respond to it.

Any guidance or solutions to these issues would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
