Confused as to what kind of app to make for my project

I am working on a multi stage invoice approval process. The flow of how it works is, a user will submit an invoice which gets automatically saved in a sharepoint document library and submits some fields in a form. This form is then reviewed by someone else. This person can either approve (forwards it to final person) the form or decline it (forward back to submitter to re-do). If the form is approved, the final person will process the information and submit the form to save in a database. Between each forwarding process each user part of this process will automatically receive emails. 

 

I have been doing research of ways to do this but am a little unsure of how I should proceed. I have looked into Business Process Flows and Creating a Canvas App. Not sure which one of these would best suite my needs. Appreciate any insight.

    Hi Tiago,

     

    so it sounds like you could approach this project in a number of ways. Personally, I'd say a combination of creating a canvas app, and then within that same app using PowerAutomate (and the approvals process in PowerAutomate) triggered by buttons or other factors could build a useful apps. Additionally I'd look into Patching a status into a sharepoint List using the Patch function in powerapps wherein perhaps you could offer a status update, or use scheduled powerautomate flows to provide updates on open cases older than 30 days (from creation date!)

     

    hope this helps, feel free to mark it as your Solution if you feel it fits right!
