Remove Date Created in Approval

[Anonymous]

Hi,

Currently, I am using the "Start and wait for an approval" to run the approval action.

Is it possible to remove the "Date Created" in the approval email?

If not, Is there any way to change like adaptive card designer and how can I use adaptive card designer to implement the adaptive card in the approval email?

Hi @Anonymous,

You could use the replace() function to remove Create time from the Approval request, steps and expressions as below:

string(json(body('Create_an_approval')?['adaptiveCard'])['body'][3])

replace(body('Create_an_approval')?['adaptiveCard'],variables('CreateTime'),'')

Approval request shows in Microsoft Teams channel:

Hi @v-litu-msft,

Is it applicable for "Start and wait for an approval"?

Can I do the approval's adaptive card in the outlook email instead of showing in the outlook?

Thank you

Hi @Anonymous,

"Start and wait for an approval" is not support it cause it wouldn't generate an adaptive card to let user edit.

Outlook support adaptive card, you could refer to this doc to check your outlook version whether support actionable messages:

Hi @v-litu-msft ,

I was wondering how to implement a custom adaptive card into an outlook email cause I can only put in Microsoft Teams 

Can I create or implement the adaptive card for outlook, if I don't have the Office365 license?

Let's say I can create and I had created one outlook adaptive card, how can I put in the outlook email within the flow that created so that I can retrieve the dynamic content but in the outlook adaptive card

Thank you

Hi @Anonymous,

You could create the adaptive card through you have no Office 365. Actionable messages are available to all customer mailboxes on Exchange Online in Office 365 or Outlook.com with a supported client. It includes Outlook.com.

After create an approval action and send an email, put the adaptive card into Email body, to get approval response you could add the Wait for an approval action to get these dynamic content.

Hi @v-litu-msft,

I would like to ask if I already have put the custom outlook adaptive card in the outlook for approval.

What is the point for me to use "Create an approval" and "Wait for an approval"? 

Why can't I just retrieve the response from the outlook adaptive card instead?

Thank you

And I also tried to get put the JSON codes in it but when I want to get the value, it didn't show me the dynamic content for the outlook actionable card.

(Note: I didn't use Approval actions ("Create an Approval" and "Wait for an approval"), cause the outlook adaptive call in the send email action will be sent to the approver for approval so I think that it is no point to use the Approval action. )

I am willing to receive some feedback and some knowledge to correct my understanding If my understanding is wrong

Thank you
