Reminding Users To Respond To Approvals using Power Automate

[@stevewedge8635]

Thanks for the pointers, I've taken the principles you've outlined and built on this to create a workflow which can be used to manage a scenario where the approval of a document/ list item requires multiple approvers to sign-off

About the dynamic approvals. I had this issue as well in a request form, where I want to have the manager of user approve it. What I did is the 'get manager' action and used this mail to send the approval to. You can also define a condition based on a field and determine the approver, store this as variable and use this in the approval flow.

Nice, I am going to use some of this, hadn't thought to leverage the timeout in this way! I'd add that you could slip some more stuff into variables (or even just expressions) and get rid of that condition which duplicates some of the work.

Hi! Thanks for the video! I have multiple approvers in sequence. If approver 1 approved, approver 2 is taking 2 days, reminder with respond link should be sent. Appreciate if you can advise. Thank you!

What would you do if you had multiple approvers? Say we had two approvers, one has responded and the other one has not. How do you capture or log who has not responded so the requester can contact them?

i am having the same query

[@stevewedge8635]

Did you ever work this out? What I have implemented for this scenario is to trigger multiple approval flows, one for each approver. They all get managed using the same approach outlined in the video, but when any instance of the flow goes down the leg to completion, the final set of actions is to check the status of all related approvals and only setting the status against the document/list item when no tasks are pending and setting the status of the item as Approved only when all have approved. This does require having a separate list to manage the approvals and another flow, which triggers the approval workflow, for each approver, when the item requiring approval reaches that status. Only updating the target item once all the related approvals have completed.
