Salesforce Approval Assignment Email Sent Twice

Date de publication: Aug 8, 2025
Description

If any of your approval steps has a rejection action to send an email to the previous approver,  two emails are sent to the approver.

When an approver rejects, the following happens:

  • An email alert is sent to the previous approver to inform that the record has been rejected= OK
  • An email alert is sent to the previous approver to inform that a new record has to be approved (via the approval assignment email template) = NOT OK!
     

Note:  The approver request email is automatically sent anytime someone is pegged as an approver - that's not really configurable. 

Résolution

In the Rejection Behavior Section, change the selection to "Perform all rejection actions for this step AND all final rejection actions" and fix the rejection email which goes to the previous approver. And instead adjust the content of your approval request email so it covers both scenarios: a new approval assignment as well as a re-assignment due to rejection.
