Adding parallel branches

For approval processes that are either long-running or involve multiple users or interactions, you may want to send periodic email reminders to users. One way to do this is by populating variables at each approval stage and checking whether they’re complete using a parallel approval branch. You’ll do this with five components:

• The Initialize variable action will be used to configure a variable (such as FirstApprovalDone) that you’ll check throughout the approval. The variable will be initialized to false, and then only set to true once that approver approves the request.

  With some programming languages, you can save the results of an action or command to a variable on the fly. With Power Automate, you must declare variables before you use them.

• The Do until control will be used to create a loop that periodically checks to see whether the variable (FirstApprovalDone, in the example) has changed...
