Power Automate errors / Config

Create an approval action failed. Possible cause could be invalid users assigned for approval.

platform: Power Automate / category: Config

Cause

The email passed to an approval's Assigned To field does not correspond to a valid user in the organization's Azure AD.

Fix

Verify the email is a licensed Microsoft 365 user in the same tenant; guest accounts need the tenant to allow guest approvals. Replace hard-coded addresses with dynamic content from a trigger/lookup and test with a known-valid internal address. Confirm the user is not deleted/disabled in Azure AD.
