Flow won't run without me reviewing action

I created a flow and I keep receiving emails that say “The run is paused. Review the action to continue the flow run.” but the whole point of creating the flow was so that, when it was published, it would automaticall send the email/there would be no action required from me.

I tried asking this directly in the chat and it kept telling me to disable the need for approval/review, but there were no settings that allowed me to do this. How can I remove the need to review this automated email?

Thanks,

Bruna

Hello Burna,

I suspect it could be related to the settings that is enabled by your Quick suite admin.

Your administrator should:

  • Access the Custom Permissions page in the Quick Suite console

  • Locate the Quick Flows “Restrict features” section

  • Disable the "Allow creators to share without approval if it’s currently enabled

Please check and verify the settings. hope this helps.

Cheers,

I can’t find a way to make the flow run without reviewing the action. Please help if there is any way to do this.

Hi @brunasf and @witchayut.k,

Just checking back in since we haven’t heard back in a bit. Were either of you able to see Deep’s reply and/or find a solution in the meantime?

If you still have any additional questions related to your initial post, please feel free to share them. Otherwise, any update you’re able to provide within the next 3 business days would be helpful for the community.

Hi Deep,

Do you know how to find who is the administrator of my account? My account name is ‘amazonbi‘

Thanks,

Dan

Hello Dan,

I am afraid, the account you have mentioned is AWS internal. please reach out to AWS internal team. This is a public forum and colleagues would not have information about it to be shared.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

To provide some additional context to this scenario; Deep’s response is more referencing the step relating to the sharing of an asset.

In regards to flows specifically, and the ability to disable confirmation prior to actions (like sending of an email) to take place, there is an option that can be selected when initially building the flow and setting up a schedule.

One note to add though, from our internal testing, this feature may not be fully operational yet though. After setting this option, we still received a notice that approval was needed prior to the Email sending.

I can’t say if this is a bug with the feature or if it’s still in the works though so I’ll mark this as a feature request to promote visibility to the support team.

Thank you
