How to Avoid sending Teams Notifications While sending Approval Requests

[SLokesh314]

Hello Power Engineers!

When i use approval action in Power Automate, it sends Teams Notifications and Email as well, I wanted to avoid sending Teams Notification @RezaDorrani. After I saw your approval flow video I tried and I ended up here, Somewhere it is not satisfying me. Can anyone help me out with this? I wanted to do this only in Flow itself and i don't want to use any adaptive cards. Email is required. And maybe if it is possible to edit the suggested text in the email itself it will be very useful when i reject the Approval request i want to add additional text and it should be a must if these are incorporated, is very useful and helpful.

Thanks in advance.

Hi There,

A workaround would be to use a custom email notification instead of the built-in approval action, but this would mean you'll need to handle the approval process manually, which might not be ideal.

The approval request is a must in my case, let's take an example like a 'Leave Request'. Once I got a request from my teammate I needed to approve it from the email then and there, it was ok but I didn't want an additional notification to teams.

Hi, 

You need create custom one if you will use default it will pop notification on Teams.

How can I create a custom approval request? Is it possible in Power Automate?

Could you provide a solution to accept as a solution?

Hi @SLokesh314 

Another way to resolve your issue would be to switch off teams notifications 🙂

Hi @Nived_Nambiar ,

Thanks for you response but i can't disable the notification in Teams, since i'm sending approvals to the manager how can i ask him to disable the settings. If this is possible via flow it is very helpful.
