Approvals using email
Approvals in Teams may not be a valid solution for everybody. Maybe you require a more asynchronous solution, such as emails. We can also accomplish something similar to what we did with Teams using Power Automate approvals.
Note
When using Power Automate approvals, an approval database will be provisioned in your Dataverse environment when you first add an approval to your flow and save it if it doesn’t exist. You need to be at least an environment administrator to do this.
Our flow for this will look exactly the same up to the condition step, which checks whether the workflow can be processed (see Figure 4.27):
Figure 4.27 – Power Automate flow to process workflows
You can see the exact same steps here. So, to speed up development, you can save the flow that we created before as a new flow and remove everything from inside the If yes branch after the condition. That will be the basis for this section.
