How to Create an Approval Workflow Using Power Automate | 2022 Tutorial

Hi Everyone,

In this video, I demonstrate how to create an approval process using Power Automate. The approval action I'm using is 'Start and wait for an approval'. I ran into some troubleshooting issues that help demonstrate some issues you may encounter!

Hey Michael, thanks for the walkthrough! Is there a way that under the "Update Item" action, we select a different ID, such as the the column "Project Title" in your case, instead of the record ID ? Thanks

[alhakawaty]

Well done! Tank you so much. Is there a possibility by creating a new item to set the Project staus to new without allowing the creater to edit it?

[danielmanahan]

Keep at it Michael. This is great content. I just about copied exactly what you demonstrated. Screen share was a bit blurry.

You've gain a subscriber here! Thanks for the tutorial. I've been looking around and cannot find any "easy-to-follow" video... mostly complicate a simple tasks. One question though. on timestamp 8:22|9:54, is ity possible to disable the "More actions" section? Also, if you want to add additional tree under the condition "Yes", besides sending email, can you add "Add a Calendar Event" in Outlook calendar? That way the approver receive the email and he or she can see the event in the calendar? Thanks again!

Hi thanks a lot for this video really great. I got a question to see if you can help, I have to do something similar but 3 step is my form list. Step 1, new car request, step 2 approve or reject and step 3 pending to return the car. How I can do that? Hope u can help

[miroragab]

Perfect, but I have one question how you integrated this notification with teams ??

[chrisakol]

Nice video, is there a way that I can put the Approval PDF as an attachment to a Sharepoint Item ?

[johnmarvincristobal]

Hi, I'm stuck on the condition step. Because in the update item, my "choice options" are not changing based on the approve/ reject. can you help? Thank you!

[MusicHitsNumberOne]

Hey there! Nice video! Iv an doubt, about the approval process in power automate, is possible works with the field of approver empty. For example, i'v 2 step of approval, but i wnat that the second step only be tarted when the first step of approval is equal "approve or empty". Its possible?

[mardithpascua]

Did you experienced using a String variable with emails as the recepient of the approval flow? I am getting an error.

[alwynkokayo]

how can i get the outcome of the approval and update the sharepoint row that triggered the flow?

[shathike]

HI Mic, Good Explanation, when a file deleted from sharepoint, document owner notify approve or reject using power automate. Please make a demo for this

[jkeeoohhh]

Hi Michael, new subscriber here and I find your video to be very helpful and thanks a bunch for this. Wonder if you can help to make a video on a flow that if someone fills up a Microsoft form then the approver will be notified and needs to approve it then it will auto generate a certificate based on the person's input and send via email? Hope you can help me out on this project of mine. Thank you in advance

We are interested in a video showing one additional step to your video above. How do we next add an item or event to a sharepoint calendar after the item has been added to a list and approved? (We had this running smoothly but seems Microsoft has updated Power Automate and the calendar no longer is updating). Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Michael, I was able to get an approval workflow running on a flow when a new form submission came through. Everything was working great until I realized that the person who submits the form would not be able to see the list item from our SharePoint site.

When someone on our team approves or rejects their request, the requestor gets a notification from the approvals app in MS Teams. But since they don’t have access to the site, they can’t click on the link in the adaptive card that is supposed to take you to the SharePoint site.

Is there anyway around this without having to grant them access to the SharePoint site/group? Or would I have to ditch the approvals process and go with something more manual as a workaround?

I did see there were some videos about manually assigning sharing permissions to an individual item, but I’m not so sure if that’s the best way.
