Power Automate approval email not being sent to approvers
Approval emails don't send when the approver email addresses are wrong, the approver account doesn't have permission, or email sending is blocked by your organization's settings. Start by checking that the approver email addresses in your flow are spelled correctly. If those are right, the issue is in the flow settings or your company's email rules.
Power Automate approval workflows send emails to tell people something needs their attention, but sometimes those emails never arrive. This happens when email addresses are wrong, when the people being asked don't have the right account type, or when your company's email rules are blocking the workflow. We'll check each of these and get your approval emails flowing.
Fix-IT-Bot will walk you through each step — just tap, no typing needed.
