    Hi Tekatie Tabuaka,

    Thank you for posting your question in Microsoft Q&A Forum.

    The built-in Approvals app in Teams only sends notifications inside Teams - it doesn't send email alerts.

    To get the same notification by email, you need to use Power Automate:

    • Create a flow that triggers when an approval is created or an item needs approval.
    • Add the "Start and wait for an approval" action (this will send a Teams notification).
    • Ad a "Send an email (V3)" step to send a matching email to the approver or the person that requested.
    • Customize the subject and message to include details or links to the approval.

    This method will let you send both Teams and email notification for the same approval event.

    I hope my answer helps you, please feel free to let me know if you need any further assistance.

    Have a great day.
