Posted on by 6
I am creating a flow that would read an email off of an excel doc and then send the person an email waiting for an response and if nothing happens within 2 weeks the flow will stop and send a email of no action.
 
the flow will stop on the apply for each and start and wait for approval. it gives me the error message that it was a temporary error and it want changer after I reset it and run it again. the flow checker shows no errors or warnings 
 
any help is appreciated

    Can you please show what your Approval looks like in design mode, i'd like to see how its configured.
     
    Secondarly, can you please go into a  flow run that failed and click on that specific action and lets see what values are being used in the approval.
     
    One thing I noticed is that you have an Apply to Each. Of course that is not like.... an issue exactly, and in this case I see it only has 1 iteration, which is your approval, but when we look at the FLow Run to see what is not working there, it could be related indirectly.
     
    Do you need the Loop? Again this is secondary to looking at the Details page and a failed run.
     
    Cheers

    thanks for the response,
    i do think that it has to be a loop because i want this to send multiple people the email approval, for the apply to each is automatically applied when i add dynamic content to the approval. 
    are theses the screenshots you want.
