Three ways to add parallel approval tasks in Power Automate


This article discusses three different approaches to implementing parallel approval tasks in Power Automate. The first approach involves adding multiple parallel branches, one for each approval task. This approach is simple and easy to follow, but it can become repetitive and time-consuming when all the branches are the same. The second approach is to use a parallel loop for the tasks, using a configuration list to manage the tasks' settings. This approach requires more thinking and can be harder to understand and maintain. The third approach is to use child flows, where the approval tasks are placed in a separate flow and called from the main flow. This approach allows for better tracking of each approval step and the ability to restart specific steps if needed. Overall, the article concludes that the third approach is the most user-friendly solution for managing parallel approval tasks.
