Start and wait for an approval (V2) has been deprecated

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hello,

 

We have been using Start and wait for an approval (V2) then it stopped allowing me to edit it. I did some research and found the following Microsoft website where the Start and wait for an approval (V2) has been deprecated https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/connectors/approvals/#start-and-wait-for-an-approval-[deprecated]. Note the Operation ID: approvalSubscribeV2

 All the flows we created with this funtion are not working correctly and this happened about a week ago. I combed through our message center and saw nothing referencing this change. Does anyone here know when this happen??

    I ran into this while checking some demos for a conference the first week in December.  Essentially the same action is still available, but now its simply called Start and wait for an approval.  They've removed the V2 from the action because its now the only version of the Approval action still available. Existing Flows that use the V2 action are supposed to still work, but I had issues with mine as well and had to re-factor them with the new action.

    Hi @Anonymous ,

     

    Please try to configure Flow with Start and wait for an approval action. As you described, Start and wait for an approval (V2) action has been deprecated, and we can no longer use this action anymore, it has been removed from the action list.
