Error in start and wait for an approval

[alie4hunt]

The entire flow works, but when I try to set the Email or Employee Name in the requestor field under "Start and wait for an approval," it throws an error.

Hi @alie4hunt 

I can see the dynamic property, but you should hover over it to see what its sets or look at the properties to see what the value actually is.

If it was just an email it would be ok. If you need to, put a Compose before the Approval and put in there what you are putting in the Requester and validate what it spits out.

If you swap to Old Mode (turn off New design)

Then go to a Flow Run

go into the Start Action

and look at the Inputs and Raw Inputs so you can see exactly what value its putting there.

Something is not right because either its a bad value, and or you don't have permission to assign them.

Where did you get the Requester Email?

If I have helped you, I would really appreciate if you please Mark my answer as Resolved/Answered, and give it a thumbs up, so it can help others

Cheers

HI @FLMike ,

After adding in compose, it works on the compose only, but it still failed when pass to approval. I'm using the same value as compose "Usermail"

Hi @alie4hunt 

Are you intentionally trying to start Multiple Approvals? Since its in the Loop?

According to the Error, the For each actually failed, Now I dont know if it was on Iteration 1 or 2 or 45 though.

Is the Requester, the person who submitted the request? If its the submitter, use the Form Responder Dynamic Property instead.

Since that error you show for the Loop is a true error for the loop, its possible that its interfering, so if you can set the requester either with the Responder Email, or use a Compose, outside the Loop and set it there, then use the Composes Output.

That other thing is, the value for the Apply to each could be valid at design time, but only a single (non array format at run time) which would make the second error make sense

If I have helped you, I would really appreciate if you please Mark my answer as Resolved/Answered, and give it a thumbs up, so it can help others

Hi @FLMike ,

Actually, the "apply to each" wasn't added by me. It appeared because the "Assigned To" approval is being pulled from a SharePoint table. The "apply to each" was automatically generated by Power Automate, not intentionally added by me.

I have already tried using "From Responder," but the error remains the same.

And I'm not sure if my compose action is in the correct place.
