Power Apps / Power Automate / Flow / Dataverse Table

Posted on by patriceluescher

Hi everyone,

I have written an app in Power Apps with an integrated approval process via Power Automate. The app as well as the approval process are working fine, I have had no issues so far. Nevertheless I have a small issue, I wanted to ask for your help, ideas or suggestions.

I use two dataverse tables for the app. In the approval process (Power Automate flow) I would like to show to the manager the corresponding data (table) in dataverse. How can I do this? Can I send him a link in the flow, where he can access the corresponding data (filtered after the relevant data) or can I send the added data directly within the flow?

Any ideas of how I could do this? Because I don't really touch ground with this issue. So far the app is great for all employees, but not really useful for the management because they don't see the corresponding data at one glance...

Every idea or suggestion is highly welcome!

Best regards,

Patrice

Hey Patrice,

just to clarify - you want to show a user some kind of data from an approval process after it was completed?

There would be multiple ways to accomplish this. In each case you need a flow that triggers when the approval has gone through and send an email. You can then either send the right data in this mail or you can just send an app link that will send him right to the correct page in the app (You can use Param() for this)

obviously for this to work you need to have a status field and the correct manager (or at least his email) in your approvals table

Hi Splash,

That's a very good and valid question! We are talking about an expense approval app. So the according manager has to see the corresponding data BEFORE he approves or declines the approval process.

Hey Patrice,

okay, the best idea would then just be to not use the standard approval process.
Just build a page in PowerApps that fulfills what you need and then have a button there to approve and decline.
Then just build a flow that sends out a link to the specific PowerApps Element using Params() in the OnStart and StartPage of the App.

Best regards
