Fantastic demo, thanks Daniel and Jon. I was running App in a Day today and the topic of approvals came up - this answers pretty much all the questions!
That was an awesome demo. I'd like to approval options like reassigning the task and return with 'additional info required'. I love to see that how it is done as a good practice.
Great video and demo! Thanks. Still my top wish list is to be able to change that Flow defualt sender name “Microsoft Flow”. Reason why we are not still using modern approval up to now.
Great video :) :) Have they changed the premium package ? When i started creating my flow a couple of weeks ago, I had the opportunity to choose the v2 premium approvals, but I went for the basic “start and wait...” options Now I realized my flow needs to run way longer than 30 days and i am desperately looking for a possibility to make my flow run 2-3 months. :(
Hi Jon, Fantastic Demo with so much clarity. I do have one question though. every time i set up the Approval workflow it doesn't give option to Approve & Reject in mail it self as you showed in your demo. I am getting Buttons Approve & Reject and once you click on them it is opening the MS flow application and there you have option to Approve & Reject as well as comment section. Is there any thing i am missing here?
I am seeing an issue with approval step timeout. The approval in the dashboard still is active, allows a “succcessfully registered” message and does not give an error as written in the MS Documentation, even if the approval has timed out. Is this a bug? Have you come across this situatuion?
Why he didn't show the whole process in the outcome stage?, I don't see the actions in my env, create work file, create pdf, send event flyer..where did you get those? Maybe they have changed the naming, that's why it would have helped if he at least clicked on the actions to see the details, funny even by mistake he didn't click one ..
is there any solution to fix or manipulate timezone used by approvals ? For exemple if we start an approval in a country like FRANCE we need to have the "date created" in FRANCE time Zone. It does not seems to be like this. Can anyone explain and give documentation (if there is ;) ) about this scenario please ? :) Many thx
@@benwatson53 thx for sample code :) but it's not possible to manipulate the "date created" field from approval right ? (see snapshot : imgur.com/a/NsNVOwa ) Also it doesn't seems possible to configure a flow or a whole environment to run on a specific TimeZone right ? Thx for your time & help ;)
That’s in the Approval Center! You can see approvals sent, received, history of approvals etc. If you want to build in approval stages you should check out Business Process Flows, or the videos on the State Machine Pattern in Flow

I use outlook web access not the desktop client myself
Strange, I have tried outlook web as well, but same result. Is there anything else?
I'm having the same problem, I don't get the box to enter comments for the button with Edits.
In an multi-approval, is there any way for the first approver to choose who the next one is during the flow run? Rather than reassign?
Can this approval including custom content to describe what is the approval for?
Very Cool!

What if you have multiple users that need to approve based on a list item that the user picks?
This video doesn’t address multiple approvers but you could definitely build an approval to do that.
What about reject the request & resubmitted request approval flow ?
I hope the wishes listed at the end become available and not for Premium.
I would not fancy missing breakfast for keynote presentation
Haha! I love a good breakfast!

My wish is that the link that is sent in the approval email would be clickable.
Hi dear
I want to post photo album from url on google sheet on facebook page
How can i do that?
Thank you
The Facebook connector is really bad. And they’re not allowing much access to their APIs so I’m not sure how to do this anymore

Hi there! We have a convert date action that should be able to help with this
convertTimeZone(utcNow(), 'UTC', 'Romance Standard Time', 'D')
Documentation here: docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/logic-apps/workflow-definition-language-functions-reference#convertTimeZone

Users need a way to track the progress of an approval
That’s in the Approval Center! You can see approvals sent, received, history of approvals etc.
If you want to build in approval stages you should check out Business Process Flows, or the videos on the State Machine Pattern in Flow
