Matt, I’m struggling to create an approval process which collects approval responses as they happen. The current actions don’t return output until the approval is complete. Do you have any videos that can help me???
It's incredible to think back to when you first introduced me to this five years ago-it kickstarted my journey with Power Automate and Power Apps. It’s been quite the in-and-out journey, but now I’m fully qualified and working in the industry, having made a complete career change. I couldn’t have done it without your guidance. Thank you, Matt!
The journey you've been on has been amazing, seeing your first experience of seeing a Power App to what you're doing now. That's ultimately down to you, you took complete ownership of your career and have forged a path into a great company. I'm looking forward to seeing what you achieve next!
May I ask if this condition have many approver , This do untill will be run again to all Right ? can we just make it re for only still not approve person ?
This is really useful thank you! I am adding the data from the form to an excel spreadsheet but it is still giving me the URL in the sheet of the file on my onedrive. How would I get the updated URL for the sharepoint file into my sheet? I have googled and ChatGPT'd and cant figure this out!
Hi, I need some assistance. I attempted to implement the 'Do Until' loop with delay and condition controls, similar to your example. My goal is to automate daily email reminders (up to a maximum of 30 days) to users/approvers with pending approvals. However, despite my efforts, the user/approver only receives one email reminder. Here's a summary of my trials: -In the first trial, a delay of 30 minutes worked well, promptly sending an email to my approver reminding them of pending approvals. -In the second trial, using a delay of 1 day, only one email reminder was sent, and none were sent until now. -During the third trial, with a delay of 28 days, no email reminders were received, as I initiated the flow on April 8th. All this trials are initiated on April 8. Hope you can help me, thank you.
I'm putting json files from my email into sharepoint and add the link to my Task and I'm sure that it all worked before, but now I get a "429 TOO MANY REQUESTS" error, when I click on those links in my planner tasks..
Awesome tutoral! I get an error though. I followed every step in exact the same way but get an error on Parse Json. Have done it over and over to be sure that I made no mistakes. I'm sure about that. Got this error: "Invalid type. Expected Array but got Object". Any idea what went wrong?. Did the same thing by copying the scheme and generated from sample. This is the scheme: { "type": "array", "items": { "type": "object", "properties": { "name": { "type": "string" }, "link": { "type": "string" }, "id": { "type": "string" }, "type": {}, "size": { "type": "integer" }, "referenceId": { "type": "string" }, "driveId": { "type": "string" }, "status": { "type": "integer" }, "uploadSessionUrl": {} }, "required": [ "name", "link", "id", "type", "size", "referenceId", "driveId", "status", "uploadSessionUrl" ] } }
Hi Matt great tutorial. Works well but I would like to also add responses to the newly moved file and can't seem to get it to work. Any suggestions? Dave
I am trying to implement this solution. When I add it into my email body and press save the webpage stops responding. If I wait for it to reload the entire email body is gone and clicking into the email action causes it to freeze again until I delete the email action... any thoughts?
Hello, Matt. Thank you very much for your wonderful video tutorials, they are very helpful in learning the features of Power Automate. Can you help me create reminders during the approval process? How to cancel the wait and continue executing the thread at the moment when the approval occurred, without waiting for the end of the parallel thread with the wait
sadly not working for me, not coming further than 15:00. sticking at the part with body expression with output(), supposed to be forbidden nowadays. giving me errors back. output('Send HTTP .....')?['body']?['value']. - > ERROR
How to handle sequential approval inside Apply to each with delay of 1 day, this will keep the next approver waiting the remainder of the delay to receives the notification, supposed that the current one has approved after 12 hours of receiving the approval, the next one has to wait another 12 hours to receive the notification, because the delay action has already started and cannot be stopped from a parallel branch, even if you're updating the condition, it is still no going to check it until the delay time ends !?
Why Onedrive, what if someone just attaches a file to the ms forms and submits it and no onedrive is used. How to send form submission straight to SP doc library with attachments?

Amazing video series!! You explained very well - the what and the why, so that I could adapt to my process as well. I was wondering whether you can create a video on getting people's email from a Multiple People picker field? It would be very helpful to create the task without entering the email addresses in Sharepoint. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge!!
