Power Automate - Adding a DL in the approver email secttion

Question

I have a leave approval workflow where the leave request mail goes to the direct Manager. However, I want to add a DL as well so that other Managers can also receive the mail in case the direct Manager is not available.

I tried to add the email section like: @{body('Get_manager_(V2)')?['mail']}; 123@abc.com

However, the mail only goes to the direct manager and not the DL. Are DL's not allowed or am I doing anything wrong here?

I separated both emails addresses by semi colon.

If you use the Start and wait for an approval action, the flow sends the approval request only one at a time, not in parallel.

Use the Create an approval action so that it sends emails to all receipts all at once.
