Approval condition is not triggering the 'if yes' - am I using the wrong dynamic content?

[pfarley]

Hi,

I'm having issues getting an approval to trigger the 'if yes' part of the condition. I am testing it and each time I click approve, the 'if no' is triggered and I receive the email, as shown in the illustration below.

This is what I have the dynamic content set to right now:

@equals(body('Start_and_wait_for_an_approval')?['responses'], 'Approve')

I have also tried:

-Responses Responder

-Responses Item

Does anyone see anything I'm missing?

Hi pfarley,

go to the page where you see all running Flows. There you can open the Flows that ran before. Click on the one that didnt finish as expected. Click on the condition. you should see what values are really compared. This should help you to correct your flow.

Thanks! This is what the actual input is:

  "responses": [

    {

      "responder": {

      },

      "requestDate": "2020-07-30T14:24:19Z",

      "responseDate": "2020-07-30T14:25:58Z",

      "approverResponse": "Approve"

    }

  ],

  "responseSummary": "\r\nResponse: Approve\r\nRequest Date: Thursday, July 30, 2020 2:24:19 PM\r\nResponse Date: Thursday, July 30, 2020 2:25:58 PM",

  "completionDate": "2020-07-30T14:25:58Z",

  "outcome": "Approve",

}

When I go to the condition under the response, I just get this. It doesn't show anything else.

Is there anything else I can show?

Hi @pfarley ,

It seems that you are using the Flow template to create a Flow. Please consider creating a new Flow from the blank and refer to the following thread to configure the condition:

Ok, now I see where your Problem is. You are comparing the wrong property. You should not compare "responses" because this contains all Response-Objects. You should compare the "Outcome" this one contains the outcome of the approval.

Also when you rectify this don't forget to get rid of the "Apply to each" control. The approval has only one outcome. This was added automatcally, because you used the "response" property.
