Start and wait for an approval Power Automate

Now we will see how to use this action and what are parameters it requires to start an approval process.

• Login the Power Automate, click on +Create > Instant cloud flow > Manually trigger a flow.
• It will trigger the flow manually. Next, we will add an action that will initiate the approval request from a user to the approver. Click on +Next step > Start and wait for an approval > Select this action to add into the flow.
• Next, it will ask to select the approval type. such as:

1. Approve/Reject – Everyone must approve (where each approvers have to respond the approval request using two responses options i.e. Approve or Reject).
2. Approve/Reject – First to respond (where the approval request will be complete if any of the approver respond this request).
3. Custom Responses – Wait for all responses (Where all approvers should ahould respond the request to complete the approval request using custom responses).
4. Custom Responses – Wait for one response(Where the request will be complete if any of the approver respond the request using custom responses).

Let’s select an approval type i.e. Approve/Reject – Everyone must approve. After selecting it will show the respective options to initialize this action. Such as:

• Approval type– Approve/Reject – Everyone must approve.
• Title– Create a title for the approval (Ex- Leave request approval)
• Assigned to– It accepts the email address of the approver, separated by semecolon.
• Details– Specify the details of the approval request.
• Item link- Add a link to the item to approve.
• Item link description- Describe the link to the item.

Next, we will add a composed action to check the outcomes of the approval request whether it is approved or rejected.

Click on +Next step > Compose action. Here we will use the Outcome as Inputs.

Let’s save the flow and test it manually. Now it will notify the approval request to the specified user.

Let’s approve the request and we can see the result of the compose action like below:

This is how a Start and Wait for an approval action works on Power Automate.

Start and wait for an approval power automate item link

Now we will see how to link the item using the item link on the start and wait for an approval action.

For this here we have created a Sharepoint list where we will apply for a leave request. The list contains some columns such as Title, Status(choices i.e. Pending, approve, reject), Start date, End date, Approver name.

Now we will create a flow that will trigger the flow when an item is created in the SharePoint list.

Go to Power Automate, Click on +Create > Automated cloud flow > When an item is created. Set the parameters such as:

• Site Address– Specify the SharePoint site address.
• List Name– Select the SharePoint list.

Next, we will action that will request the approver to approve or reject the leave request.

Go to +Next step > Start and wait for an approval. Select the approval type as Approve/Reject – Everyone must approve. Set the parameters such as:

• Title– Title (Select it from dynamic content).
• Assigned to– Approver name email (Select it from dynamic content).
• Details– Specify the details of the approval request using satrt date and end date (from dynamic content).
• Item link- Link to item (Select it from dynamic content).

Then we will add an action that will send an email to the user about approval.

Click on +Next step > Send an email (V2). Set the properties like below:

• To- Specify the user name who created that request i.e. Created by Email from dynamic content.
• Subject– Give a subject name to the Email.
• Body- Specify any message that you want to inform the use.

Then we will add an action that will update the approval status whether it is approved or rejected in the Sharepoint list.

Go to +Next step > Update item. Set the parameters like below:

• Site Address– Specify the SharePoint site address name.
• List Name– Select the SharePoint list name.
• Id- ID from dynamic content.
• Title- Title from dynamic content.
• Status Value- Outcome from Start and wait for an approval.
• StartDate- StartDate from dynamic content.
• EndDate- EndDate from dynamic content.

Now our flow is ready to run. So let’s save the flow.

Start and wait for an approval power automate details

Now we will see how to use the ‘details’ at the start and wait for approval on Power Automate.

This option is used to show the details of the approval request using dynamic contents. Here we are going to take the previous example to see how it works at the start and wait for an approval action.

In the start and wait for an approval action, go to details. Mention the details of the approval request using dynamic content such as start date, the person who requested the approval, last date, etc.

Let’s insert the data in the SharePoint list.

We can see the request will come in details such as:

Power Automate start and wait for an approval outcome

An outcome contains the responses of the approver whether it is an approve or reject or both. Let’s take an example, where we will assign an approval request to multiple approvers.

For this, the following steps are:

Step-1:

On Power Automate, click on +Create > Instant cloud flow > Manually trigger a flow. Now our flow is triggered.

Next, we will add an action to create an approval request.

Go to +Next step > Create an approval. Set the properties of the action like below:

• Approval type– Approve/Reject – Everyone must approve
• Title– Testing
• Assigned to– Select multi approvers that separated by semicolon.
• Details– Specify the details of the approval request.

Step-2:

Now, we will add another action that will wait for a specified approval to complete. It will ask to add Approval ID as the parameter.

Step-3:

Now, we will add a Compose action using inputs as an outcome selected from dynamic contents.

Now our flow is ready to run. So just save the flow and test it manually. We can see it will send a request to the approvers to approve. For example, approve and reject the request from both approvers respectively.

This is how the outcome of start and wait for approval works on Microsoft flow.

Start and wait for an approval power automate enable notifications

By enabling the approval notification in the outlook mail, it can reduce the number of emails received and sent. Instead of email, we can use the Microsoft team for approval requests.

The following steps are:

Step-1:

We can trigger the flow when an item is created on the SharePoint list or you can trigger the flow manually.

Let’s trigger the flow manually. Go to +Create > Instant cloud flow > Manually trigger a flow > Create.

Step-2:

Next, we will add an action that will create an approval request.

Go to +Next step > Select Create an approval. Set the properties like below:

• Approval type– Approve/Reject – Everyone must approve
• Title– Approval Notification
• Assigned to– Set any user id
• Details– Set the details of the approval requset.

Expand the Show advanced option, go to Enable notifications, and set No.

Step-3:

Now we will add an action that will post an adaptive card to a chat or a channel, requesting approval and set the properties such as:

• Post as– Flow bot
• Post in– Chat with flow bot
• Recipient– Set a recipient user ID.
• Adaptive Card– Select Teams Adaptive card from dynamic contents.

Step-4:

Now we will add an action that waits for a specified approval to complete. Set the property such as:

• Approval ID– select Approval ID from dynamic content.

That’s it! Now our flow is ready to run. Let’s save the flow and test it manually. We can see

Once the request is approved, we can see the final response in the Wait for an approval.

This is how to enable notification on Power Automate start and wait for an approval action.

Start and wait for an approval power automate timeout

In Power Automate, we can set Timeout at the start and wait for an approval action. It will control the process when the approver will not act on time. The default value is empty that indicates how long the flow will run i.e. 30 days.

Also, it allows to set the time in the start and wait for approval action in ISO 8601 format. It limits the maximum duration an asynchronous time pattern may take, but this does not alter the request timeout of a single request.

For example:

• PT30M- 30 Minutes
• PT60M- 60 Minutes
• P1D- 1 day
• P15D- 15 day
• P3W- 3 week

Here we are going to use the previous flow with little modification. The following steps are:

Step-1:

First, we will trigger the flow when an item is created in the Sharepoint list. Here we will set the site address and the SharePoint list name.

Step-2:

Next, we will add an action that will start the approval process and wait for approval from the approver.

Go to +Next step > Start and wait for an approval. Set the properties such as:

• Approval type– Approve/Reject – Everyone must approve
• Title– Select Title from dynamic content.
• Assigned to– Approver name email from dynamic content.
• Details– Set the details of the approval request.
• Item link- Link to item from dynamic content.

Then, we will configure this Timeout on the start and wait for approval action.

On start an wait for an approval > Menu (. . .) > Setting.

It will open a settings page where we can set a timer for the approval flow. Let’s set a timer for 7 days in Timeout. Then click on Done.

Step-3:

Next, we will add a condition that will check the outcomes i.e. whether the response is Approved or rejected. According to the response, it will notify the user through outlook’s email.

Go to +Next step > Condition. Set the outcomes(from approval dynamic contents) is equal to Approve.

Also, in both if_yes and if_no sections, use an action that will notify the user through outlook about the response.

In If yes > +add an action > Send an email (V2). Similarly, repeat this on the If no section.

It will check the outcomes if the approval is on time. But if the times are out, what will happen with the approval? The flow does not run unless it is set up with a Configure run after.

For this, in the next step, go to condition > menu > Configure run after.

Now, select two options i.e. is successful and has timed out. Then click on Done.

This is how to set timing on Power Automate Approval requests.

Start and wait for an approval Power Automate response

By default, there are two responses are available in the Power Automate approval request i.e. Approve and Reject.

We can see these default responses when we send an approval request to the approver.

This is how to check default responses in the approval request of Power Automate.

Start and wait for an approval Power Automate custom response

In Power Automate, sometimes we require more than two responses. For this, let’s create an approval flow with some custom responses to that request.

On Power Automate, trigger the flow when an item is created in a specified SharePoint list. Here we will set the SharePoint site address and the list name; otherwise, you can create an instant cloud flow or button flow.

Next, Go to +New step > Start and wait for an approval. Select the approval type as Custom Responses – Wait for one response. Then it will ask to set the Response options Item. For example, we will set the custom responses such as Approve, Reject, Not at the moment, Give more details.

Also, set the parameters as:

• Title– Give a title to the request.
• Assigned to– Set an user id who approve the request.
• Details– Set a details for approval request.

Let’s save the flow and insert data in the SharePoint list to test it.

We can see it is showing all the custom responses on the approval request like below:

This is how to set custom responses on Power Automate start and wait for the approval.

Start and wait for an approval power automate reminder

Sometimes when we are waiting for a request to approve, if the approver is not available at that particular time. But we can remind the approver to approve the request via outlook using an automated flow.

Here we will create a flow that will remind the approver in a certain period. For example, it will notify the approver in every 10 mins or 30 mins or 1 day that we have specified.

To implement this scenario, we have created a SharePoint list based on OfficeEquipment’s Order where a requester requests for buying office equipment. This list consists of columns such as:

• Title- Single line column
• Requester- People
• Details- Multiline column
• Status- Choice(Granted, Rejected)
• RequestDate- DateTime
• Approver- People

Now we will create a flow that will remind the approver to approve the request in a certain period till they approve. The following steps are:

Step-1:

On Power Automate, go to +Create > Automate cloud flow > select When an item is created > Create.

It will trigger the flow when an item is created in the SharePoint list. Here we will specify the Sharepoint site address and the SharePoint list name.

Step-2:

Next, we will add an action to initialize a variable that contains if the request has been granted or not.

Go to + New step > Initialize variable. Set the parameters such as:

• Name– Give a variable Name (ex- Granted)
• Type– Boolean
• Value– use the below expression.

Step-3:

Next, we will add an action to create an approval using custom responses.

Go to + New step > Create an approval. Set the properties like below:

• Approval type – Custom Responses – Wait for one response.
  • Response options Item1 – Granted
  • Response options Item2- Rejected
• Title– Give a title to the approval request(using dynamic content).
• Assigned to– Approver email(select from dynamic content).

Step-4:

Next, we will add an action that will wait for a specified approval to complete using Approval ID.

Go to +New step > select Wait for an approval action.

Step-5:

Now we will add action to set the variable that we have initiated i.e. Granted. Set the value as true using expression.

Step-6:

Next, we will add a condition that will check if the response is Granted then it will notify the requester that his request has been granted otherwise it will notify the requester his request has been rejected.

Click on +New step > Condition. Select Outcome(from dynamic content) is equal to Granted.

Similarly, in both the If yes and If no section, add an action that will notify the user about responses whether it is Granted or Rejected.

In the If yes > Add an action > Send an email(V2).

Step-7:

After getting responses, the status will be updated whether it is Granted or Rejected.

In the If yes section, go to +Add an action > Update item. Set the parameters such as:

• Site Address– Specify the SharePoint
• List Name– Specify the list name.
• Title– Title from the dynamic content.
• ID- ID from the dynamic content.
• Status Value– Granted

Similarly, do this in the If no action.

Step-8:

Next, we will add a Delay action that will automate the delay action. This action will set how long an action should be delayed once the flow is triggered.

Under Create an approval > Add a parallel branch > Delay.

Set the properties such as:

• Count– 1
• Unit– Day

It will remind the approver to approve the request based on 1 day.

Step-9:

Under the delay action, next, we will add a do-while loop that checks the variable which is set to true.

If the variable is set to true then the request is completed; otherwise, it will send a reminder and wait for the response.

Under the delay > Add an action > Do-Until. Set the parameters such as:

• Choose a value- Granted(Variable)
• Operator- is equal to
• Value– Set the below expression

true

Next, we will add an action that will remind the approver to approve the pending request:

Inside the Do until loop, click on Add an action > Send an email. Set the properties like below:

• To- Approver email
• Subject- Set the email’s subject
• Body- Set the email’s body.

Step-10:

Next, we will add the delay action. Set the count 1 and the Unit as day.

Let’s save and run the flow. Then insert the data in the SharePoint list.

It will notify the approver to approve the request via outlook like below:

If the approver responds to it then it will notify the user; otherwise, it will remind the approver about the pending approval request:

This is how to send approval reminders in Power Automate.

Note- For testing purposes, we have set the delay action 1 minute instead of 1 day.

Power Automate start and wait for an approval requestor

In Power Automate, when we create an approval request it shows the default name who created the flow. In other words, by default, it shows the current login account of Microsoft flow.

But there is an option to mention the Requestor in the approval flow.

Let’s create a button flow and mentioned a requestor name in that flow. We will see how it comes with the requestor’s name.

On Power Automate’s home page > +Create > Instant cloud flow > select Manually start the flow.

Next, we will add an action to start an approval process and wait for the response from the approver.

Click on +New step > Start and wait for an approval > Expand the Show advanced options.

Set the parameters like below:

• Approval type– Approve/Reject – First to respond
• Title– Give a title to the approval request
• Assigned to– Specify the user who will approve this request
• Details– Mentioned the details of the approval request
• Requestor- Specify the user id who will request this approval.

Let’s save and run the flow with the manual test. We can see it will notify the approver with the specified requestor name.

But by default, it will show the flow creator name also.

This is how to use requestor on Microsoft flow start and wait for the approval.

Power Automate start and wait for an approval Condition

In Power Automate, we can insert a condition with the start and wait for an approval request. For example, we will create an approval request. If the response is approved then it will send a notification to the user. Similarly, it will notify the user in the case of approval Rejection.

Here, we are going to use the SharePoint list that we have created previously i.e. Leave Approval.

Let’s start the flow by following these steps:

On Power Automate, go to +Create > Automated cloud flow > Select When an item is created > Create.

Now our flow will trigger when an item is created in the SharePoint list. Here, we will set the SharePoint site address and the list name.

Step-2:

Now we will add an action that will start the approval process and wait for the response from the approver.

Click on +New step > Start and wait for an approval. Set the approval type as Approve/Reject – First to respond. Also, set the parameters as below:

• Title– Give a title to the approval request
• Assigned to– specify the approver email id

Step-3:

In this step, we will apply a condition action. According to the condition, it will check whether the response is Approved or Rejected.

• Value(1)- Outcomes from dynamic content.
• Operator- Is equal to
• Value(2)- Approve

If the response is approved then it will notify the user and update the request’s status in the SharePoint list.

In the If yes section, click on +Add an action > Send an email (V2). Set the properties like below:

• To- Created by email from dynamic content
• Subject- Specify thesubject if the approval request.
• Body- Specify the body of the approval request

Let’s Save the flow and test it manually. Insert data in the SharePoint list.

Let;’s reject the approval request and give any comment, We can see it will notify the user about the response.

We can see it will update the status in the SharePoint list too.

This is how to use conditions in the Start and wait for approval on Power Automate.

Power automate start and wait for an approval assigned to

In Power Automate, there is an option i.e. Assigned to that indicates to insert a user(s) who will respond to the approval request.

We can assign multiple users that are separated by a semicolon(;). Let’s create an instant button flow that will create an approval request.

Go to + Create > Instant cloud flow > Manually trigger a flow.

Next, we will add an action that will initiate the approval process and wait for the response.

Click on +New step > Start and wait for an approval. It will ask to fill the mandatory fields such as:

• Approval type– Approve/Reject – Everyone must approve
• Title– Give a title to the Approval Request
• Assigned to– Mentioned the user(s) name who will assigned to approve the request
• Details– Give details of the approval request.

To see the response of the approval request, we will use a compose action or you can use an action to send an email to the user who created this request.

Click on +New step > Compose and set the Outcome(from dynamic content of start and wait for an approval) as inputs.

Now our flow is ready to run. Let’s Save the flow and test it manually. We can see it will notify that user who is specified in the assign to field.

This is what an ‘assigned to’ field works on the Start and waits for approval in Power Automate.

Power Automate start and wait for an approval attachment

Sometimes, we need an attachment approval for a business purpose. Luckily, Power Automate allows this feature for attachment approval.

To implement this, we will create an instant button flow that lets us an approval request with the attachment that the approver can review before approving.

Let’s create the instant flow by following these steps:

Step-1:

Go to My flow > +New flow > Instant cloud flow.

Give a name to the flow and select the trigger to start the flow manually.

It will trigger the flow manually and add a file input inside this trigger.

Click on +Add an input > File.

Step-2:

Next, we will add an action that will start the approval process with an attachment

Go to +New step > Start and wait for an approval. Set the approval type as Approve/Reject – Everyone must approve. Also, set the following properties below:

• Title– Give a title to the approval request.
• Assigned to– Assigned a user name who will approve the request.
• Details– Give the detaiils of the approval request.

To attach the attachment, expand the Show advanced options and we can see it will show the options for attachments.

• Attachments Name 1 – Give a name to the attachment.
• Attachments content – choose File content from the dynamic content of the trigger.

Now just save the flow and test it manually. It will ask to select the attachment(ex- excel, texts, images, etc) from the local system.

Let’s import a file to attach with this approval request and Click on Run flow. It will notify the approver to approve the attachment with the request.

This is how to add an attachment in the Power Automate Approval process.

Similarly, we can add multiple attachments by clicking on the +Add new item under the ‘attachments contents‘ in the Start and wait for an approval action. Also, add another file input inside the trigger.

This is how to add multiple attachments in Power Automate approval.

Power Automate difference between create an approval and start and wait for an approval

In Power Automate, there are two types of approval processes are available. One is ‘create an approval’ another one is ‘Start and wait for an approval ‘.

In the Create an approval action, it only starts an automated approval process but does not wait for the approval to complete. Also, the approval is cancelable.

We can use this action to send a basic email notification and push notification to the mobile app. This action allows us to give custom responses including approve or reject. Let’s create an instant flow using create an approval action.

Go to +Create > Instant cloud flow > Manually trigger flow.

Next, add an action to create an approval. Click on +New step > Create an approval. Set the following properties below:

• Approval type- Approve/Reject – Everyone must approve
• Title- Give a title to the approval request.
• Assigned to- specify the user email who will approve the request.
• Details- Give the details of the approval request.

Let’s save the flow. Select to test it manually and then press the Run flow. It will only create an approval request.

Also, we can see the flow ran successfully as it does not wait for the responses from the approvers.

This is what a Create an approval works in Power Automate. Similarly, the start and wait for an approval action it will start an approval process and wait for the response to complete it.

Let’s create an instant flow using the Start and wait for an approval action.

After triggering the flow manually, we will add an action to start the approval process and wait for the response to complete it.

Go to +New step > Start and wait for an approval. Set the properties like below:

• Approval type- Approve/Reject – Everyone must approve
• Title- Give a title to the approval request.
• Assigned to- specify the user email who will approve the request.
• Details- Give the details of the approval request.

Let’s save the flow. Select to test it manually and click on Run flow. It will send the approval notification to the approver including responses as similar to creating an approval process. But the difference is it will wait for the responses to complete the approval process:

Once the approver responds to the request it will complete the approval process. For example, we have rejected the approval request.

Now we can see the flow ran successfully and the approval process completed after responding.

This is what a start and waits for approval work in Power Automate.

Power Automate start and wait for an approval comments

When we request an approval request, it allows the approver to give their comments with responses.

Now we will see how to work with the comments in a start and wait for an approval action. For this here we are going to use the previous SharePoint list but we have added a new single-line column for Approver’s comment.

Let’s create an automated flow, that will create an approval request. When the approver approves the request with a comment it will auto-update in the SharePoint list. The following steps are:

Step-1:

First, we will trigger the flow when an item is created in the SharePoint list. On the Power Automate, go to My flows > +New flow > Automated cloud flow.

Then select a trigger i.e. When an item is created(under SharePoint) that will trigger the flow when we insert data in the specified SharePoint list. Here we have to set the site address and list name:

Step-2:

Next, we will add an action that will initiate the approval process and wait for the approver’s response:

Click on +New step > Start and wait for an approval. Set the following parameters below:

• Approval type– Approve/Reject – First to respond
• Title– Set a title to the approval request
• Assigned to– Set an approver’s email who will approve the request
• Details– Give details to the approval request.

Step-3:

Power Automate start and wait for an approval first to respond

There is an approval type i.e. First to respond where the approval request will be complete if any of the approvers responds to this request. Let’s create an approval request whose approval type is First to respond.

Similarly, here we will trigger the flow manually. Then add the action ‘Start and wait for approval‘. It will ask to fill the following properties like below:

• Approval type– Approve/Reject – First to respond
• Title– Set the title of the approval request
• Assigned to– Assign the multiple people who will approve the request.
• Details– Give a details to the approval request.

Let’s save the flow and select to test it manually. Then click on the Run flow.

It will notify each approver to approve the request. If any of them will respond then the flow will be complete.

For example, user 4 will reject this approval request first. Then click on Submit.

It will notify another user that the request has been responded to by another user:

This is how a Power Automate First to respond in approval requests works on approval flow.
