They won't be able to approve / reject from email. You'll need to include a link to the filled out form in the view sent in email, then they can click the link, and in your form load rules you can switch to the correct view so they can approve. I usually keep track of the user name for the approver, so I can compare that to the userName() function in InfoPath and choose whether to switch to the approval view.https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/122486.aspxThu, 27 Feb 2020 14:38:11 GMT033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:122486Janine0https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/122486.aspxhttps://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=39&PostID=122486Yea, I do apologize... I'm new to creating one of these forms. I only added rules to the "submit button". When I fill out the form on SharePoint I get the "user end view", and when the email is auto sent right after, the "approval" view is received but with no buttons displayed to approve or reject... I'm really trying to figure out and understand the logic, but get confused when going down a rabbit hole of instructions found online.https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/122484.aspxWed, 26 Feb 2020 15:59:25 GMT033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:122484Hilary Stoupa0https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/122484.aspxhttps://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=39&PostID=122484I don't see any rules that would change the form to the approver view when you re-open it? I'd expect to see those under Form Load rules.... I'm guessing that is what you want to do? Send the email, and when the recipient opens the form, open the approval view?https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/122477.aspxTue, 25 Feb 2020 15:55:53 GMT033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:122477Janine0https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/122477.aspxhttps://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=39&PostID=122477I don't receive an error message, but when I access and submit the form in SP it: 1.)

For example the first stage, Pending, next, Approve and or Deny... I created a form to fill out and save/submit to a form library on SharePoint, but having a hard time sending it as an email after submission... An additional email data connection was created, but I continue to receive an error msg. The form does save to the form library though! :) My final problem is figuring out how to display the form in a "pending view" after submission.
