Send Approval via Power Automate to a Teams Channel

Hi,

so I want to create a Power Automate Flow that creates a Teams Approval and sends it to a Teams channel. So people of the team get a notification, that there is a new message to approve.

How can I make that? When I do the steps "create approval" -> "Post Adaptive card in channel" -> "wait for response" then it posts the adaptive card with the accept or decline buttons in the teams channel, but the buttons dont work anymore.

The "Post adaptive card and wait for response" doesnt work with the "wait for response" of the approval.

So is there a solution? Since I dont want to do it via the approval app in teams, since there is no way to set a environment as default and our users have to always change the environment when they open the app.

Re: Send Approval via Power Automate to a Teams Channel

I think you answered your own question. Approvals are dependent on the environment with Dataverse enabled. If you want to use approvals, they go through the approvals in the environment where the flow is created.

If you don't want to use that, you can use a responsive card and post it in a Teams channel and wait for a response. You can use the Actionable Message Designer (Actionable Messages Designer (amdesigner.azurewebsites.net)) to create a responsive card with buttons. There is a template named Vacation Approval that you can begin with, which has the buttons Approve/Decline.
