Hello,
I am new to creating approvals, and I would like some help regarding the APPROVAL NOTIFICATION EMAIL. I was under the impression that the approval notification email is sent by default, I don't need to create one.
This is the workflow I created.
The workflow works; the ticket shows pending approvals, but the approver is not receiving the email.
Thank you
Solved! Go to Solution.

Since your workflow is using the Approval Group activity, check this table:
sysapproval_group
You might want to read this page from ServiceNow, one thing I see when you said "This is not a catalog item, it is on our own design table" raises a possible potential issue...see screenshot below:
Approval - User activity doesn't seem to say that on the ServiceNow Docs page:
We use Approval User more than Approval Group...both can accept groups into the activities. Try switching to Approval - User activity just to see if the results change for you.
Please mark this response as correct and/or helpful if it assisted you with your question.

Yes, Correct
That is not sent or triggered, Is the notification active? Check the condition once?
Thanks and Regards,

Hi @AngelP83 ,
May I know, where you have attached the workflow.
Is it in the catalog Item?
Thanks and Regards,
Rahul

Hi Rahul,
This is not a catalog item, it is on our own design table. could that be the problem?
Thanks

Yes, this is a showstopper I think, as I checked the OOTB notification is only for catalog Items.
In this case you have to configure a notification and set it up as per your requirement.
Thanks and Regards,
Rahul
