Creating Multi-level Approval Flows in Power Automate | Serial or Parallel

This tutorial will demonstrate how to use Power Automate to build multi-level approval flows. You have the choice to create a serial approval where the flow will route the approval to each one at a time in the order specified. Or you can create a Parallel approval where multiple people get an approval request at the same time. Of course, you can blend the approach and start with a parallel approval then add in a serial element later in the flow. I will show you some basic examples to get you started.

While filming I clicked in the wrong place and accidentally caused an error in the flow that was caught by testing the flow.
Always test your flow 😊

Great view and nice explanations but what if I have 10 approvers and if one of them rejects (1) The flow should start again

I need your help. My boss asked me to create a flow. His requirement is to create an item which goes to two supervisors, and then they both review the item to approve or reject it with their comments. After that, it goes to the manager to review both supervisors' reviews, whether they approve or reject it with their comments. The manager then makes a final decision whether to approve or reject it with his comments to the user. Moreover, he wants me to integrate this flow into Teams.

Hello - how did you get Supervisor's name to be in the dynamic content?

Thank you for this. I tried your example on an approval list I'm working on but new "Apply to each" keep automatically getting added. Then I get "ActionFailed. An action failed. No dependent actions succeeded.". These show up after I add the update item actions. Process runs but now with errors. Any ideas?

I just want to know at 9:51 how you put one start and wait for an approval with two conditions where as I see an individual start and wait for condition and condition 2 to add on my end.
