Workflow Notification to Sender Not Working

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by
We are having an issues with email notifications going back to the person who requested approval in a workflow. The email notifications are working great for when an approval is requested, and we would like it to be that the requester gets an email back when the approver as taken action on it. I have add a step in the Approval Request is Approved for Create a notification for <Sender>. I have toggled Notify Sender for that step, and set the dropdown on Notification Entry Type to Approval. What are we missing in order for the requestor to get an email notification back that it was approved?

    Try it like this instead, this is an example with a purchase order workflow:
     
    1. find the line for when the approval is approved, and there are 0 pending approvals left, select the Then Response entry (where it says remove record restriction below)
    2. add a new response to create a notification. In this response, select the notify sender as yes, and select the notification entry type as approval

    Hi, what is the specific action? For example, if the user rejects or delegate, you can add a notification below.
     
    Hope this helps as well.
    Thanks.

    Great!
     
    Yes, I think something is wrong with the action to verify answers.
