Request for Assistance with Sending Multiple Approvals via Power Automate

Posted on by Renee3

Good day,

I would greatly appreciate your assistance with the following issue. I’ve built a flow in Power Automate that runs once a day using the recurrence trigger. The flow pulls data from a spreadsheet and sends approval requests.

The challenge I’m facing is that I need multiple approvals—one for each individual listed in the spreadsheet—to be sent simultaneously. Currently, the flow does not send all approvals at once as intended.

Could you please advise on how I can structure the flow to achieve this?

Kind regards,

@Renee3 Hi,

Consider using Get row + loop for your flow:

1. Pull all of your rows at once
Replace your four “Get a row” actions with a single: List rows present in a table
This will give you an array of all the people you need to send approvals to in one go.
2. Loop through them
Add an Apply to each whose input is the output of “List rows…”.

Inside that loop, add whatever filtering logic you need (your Condition 2/3/6/9), and then under the True branch do:

Start and wait for an approval

other actions, etc.

3. Important: click the three dots on the Apply to each, choose Settings, turn Concurrency Control ON, and bump the Degree of Parallelism up to something ≥ the number of rows you expect (e.g. 10).
What that does is spin off each iteration in its own thread. All of your “Start and wait” actions now fire at essentially the same time, each waiting only on its own approval.

Let me know if you have any questions.
