Dear all,
As per subject. How do I publish the flow to SharePoint? I just started to learn Power Automate for 3 days.
Type: Approval flow.
Objectively: The user can go to SharePoint to raise a request to whitelist the particular email domain. IT dept will receive the Email notification.
Please see the below attached. The flow I created name is "Approval flow for test".
I will need your kind advice on this.
Thank you.

Hi @Sk-73 ,
Do you have three columns type of Person in SharePoint?
Do you want Line manager and Senior Manager to sequential approval?
How to update the status, we can use update item action.
I have a test for your reference, please try the following workaround.
I have this in SharePoint.
Here is the flow.
After both approvals are passed, the status is updated to approved
Best Regards,

Hi @Sk-73 ,
Could you show me more about your flow and explain your needs?
- Will the records in SharePoint be added to the whitelist?
- Or add email to SharePoint after approval.
I assume you want to run flow when selecting a existing record in SharePoint.
I have a test for your reference, please try the following workaround.
I create two columns in SharePoint.
Here is the flow.

Hi Chen Zhi,
Sure. here is my share point list.
For ur Q2.
In this case, it should be considered to add a new item, I guess?
Q3
Save the record after filling up the request form in Share Point.
Q4
Ideally, the default status is In progress, and after the line manager and the senior manager approve the request, the status will update to Approved.
My problem now is
1. I've managed to use the default template archive to send the approval to the line manager and the senior manager. Two managers already approved the request but the status still shows In progress. I tried to add Share Point in Power Automater but the flow is failed. Wondering to know how to makes it auto-update the status via Power Automate.
2. How to add send an email to the requester in Power Automate? I tried this way, for some reason, it doesn't work as expected.
Will be grateful for any help you can provide.

Hi Chen Zhi,
Thank you very much for your kind assistance. The first time I follow your pic guide created the flow from my end, the condition got an error. Is ok, I will try again then update you.
Can I check with you, please see the below attached.
I'd like to know, how can we add send an email to the arrow pointing there instead of compose?
Thank you. 😉
Hi Chen Zhi,
Let me add on and explain the error I encounter now.
So, I add the Outlook component and choose to Send an email (V2) to the as I mentioned in the last reply red color arrow area.
What happens when I run the test.
The first approval was sent to the line manager, then after the line manager approved, it will auto send the 2nd approval to the senior manager, after the senior manager approved the next is fall into the "No" area and trigger send the rejected email to the user.😂
If the send an email succeeds, then I want to add the Share Point component "Update item" I'm not sure if this is correct, or I should add "Share Point update item first" then only send an email to inform the requester?
Hi @v-chenzhi ,
Thank you for all the advice with the pic guide, very helpful and very appreciate.
End up I didn't add the send email component into the flow.
Reason: Trying to simplify the flow, follow your pic guide set up the share point update status, this looks good enough. I will have a discussion with my team tomorrow.
Please see the below attached. 😃
Hi @v-chenzhi
Can I check with you, do you know what triggers the approval power automate send duplicate approval to the approver?
Quite strange, because sometimes happen only. Is not all the time.
The two red colour arrows, please see the below.
Grateful if you can provide some advice. Thank you. 😉

The Reading Dynamics 365 and Power Platform User Group is a community-driven initiative that started in September 2022. It has quickly earned recognition for its enthusiastic leadership and resilience in the face of challenges. With a focus on promoting learning and networking among professionals in the Dynamics 365 and Power Platform ecosystem, the group has grown steadily and gained a reputation for its commitment to its members! The group, which had its inaugural event in January 2023 at the Microsoft UK Headquarters in Reading, has since organized three successful gatherings, including a recent social lunch. They maintain a regular schedule of four events per year, each attended by an average of 20-25 enthusiastic participants who enjoy engaging talks and, of course, pizza. The Reading User Group's presence is primarily spread through LinkedIn and Meetup, with the support of the wider community. This thriving community is managed by a dedicated team consisting of Fraser Dear, Tim Leung, and Andrew Bibby, who serves as the main point of contact for the UK Dynamics 365 and Power Platform User Groups. Andrew Bibby, an active figure in the Dynamics 365 and Power Platform community, nominated this group due to his admiration for the Reading UK User Group's efforts. He emphasized their remarkable enthusiasm and success in running the group, noting that they navigated challenges such as finding venues with resilience and smiles on their faces. Despite being a relatively new group with 20-30 members, they have managed to achieve high attendance at their meetings. The group's journey began when Fraser Dear moved to the Reading area and realized the absence of a user group catering to professionals in the Dynamics 365 and Power Platform space. He reached out to Andrew, who provided valuable guidance and support, allowing the Reading User Group to officially join the UK Dynamics 365 and Power Platform User Groups community. One of the group's notable achievements was overcoming the challenge of finding a suitable venue. Initially, their "home" was the Microsoft UK HQ in Reading. However, due to office closures, they had to seek a new location with limited time. Fortunately, a connection with Stephanie Stacey from Microsoft led them to Reading College and its Institute of Technology. The college generously offered them event space and support, forging a mutually beneficial partnership where the group promotes the Institute and encourages its members to support the next generation of IT professionals. With the dedication of its leadership team, the Reading Dynamics 365 and Power Platform User Group is poised to continue growing and thriving! Their story exemplifies the power of community-driven initiatives and the positive impact they can have on professional development and networking in the tech industry. As they move forward with their upcoming events and collaborations with Reading College, the group is likely to remain a valuable resource for professionals in the Reading area and beyond.
