Hide Approve Reject buttons in approval email

[ChanNT]

Hi,

I am using Configure page approval flow for SharePoint pages.

It will send approval email with link to review page when someone edit a page and submit request for publishing. 

But our customers don't want to see Approve, Reject button in approval email because it will bring us to Power Automate page to perform approval when we click Approve or Reject in email. It makes us confused. 

We just want to have link to the page and click Approve/ Reject in SharePoint pages for publishing.

Does someone knows any workaround instead of Approval action or how to remove/hide Approve, Reject buttons in email?

Approval Email

Approval in SharePoint page

Thank you.

I've not looked into this for more than a year, so please correct me if im wrong, and dont take everything for 100%. But this is what I found out back then about configuring the automatic E-Mail for approvals:

Currently it's only possible to customise the approve/reject buttons if the flow creator has a premium licence.

A lot of people have suggested this function for non-premium users.

But if you want to configure it, what i did back then (its pretty linear and stupid, but it works).

Filter out the automatic mails in exchange mailflow rules, by deleting mails that contain "Approve and Reject" from Mail " maccount@microsoft.com" and add a "send mail" function to the power automate flow, in which he sends a "reminder" that there is a new approval and a link to the sharepoint site that has the approvals (or teams, whatever you use)...

As i said, its not the perfect solution and maybe you are able to do it by now, but as far as i know there is no way to configure the automatic approval mails that power automate sends.

Hi @dominikmad ,

Thank you for the suggestion.

Hi @ChanNT , 

Every approval action has Enable notifications option available  and by default

It set to Yes. 

You can set that option to No. 

No approval email will send out. You can use Send an email action to send out your customize email with link. 

Thanks, 

Vivek
