Get approval output after an apply to each

[wassimbenammar]

I am currently designing an automated cloud flow and I ran into a bit of an issue (as I am new to this)

1- I have a list that contains emails

2- Depends on the selection it will send and wait for an approval

3- An apply to each is automatically created to serve the purpose of multiple choices

The problem I am facing is that I cannot get the output from the approval, neither the item update from sharepoint.

How can I get that output ?

Hi @wassimbenammar 

Could you please show me where you are trying to get output from the approval

Hello @Amit_Sharma 

Under Apply to each 6, I have created a teams approval and want to use its outcome in the condition.

Hi @wassimbenammar 

Because you are created apply to each 6 as a parallel action with approval Action so you cannot get output of approval Action if you want then you have to create apply to each 6 after approval action.

Approval 6 itself has an approval nested in it, I was not talking about the parallel one, which by the way you can get its outcome.

Lets assume that you have nested an approval inside an "apply to each" how do you get its value, this is my question.

Hi @wassimbenammar 

If only one approval for your approval request, then you don't need to put in apply to each for taking response if apply to each is automatically created you can use expression to prevent this.

Could you please show me screenshot of apply to each 6

Another way is you can initialize variable in your flow outside the apply to each 6 and set value in apply to each 6 and then use variable value in another apply to each because the scope of value not outside the apply to each.

Here is what inside of the apply to each.

When adding an action outside of it, I can't get the outcome of the approval

Hi @wassimbenammar ,

I don't recommend that you put the approval in the apply to each action, because they will be approved independently of each other. We can't clearly know which approval result you want unless you use an array to store all their results. If you have multiple approvers I suggest you put them into the same approval.
