I want power app to trigger a power automate flow to trigger microsoft teams approval

Posted on by 432

see my previous post, but i am trying to trigger a recursive approval system (repeatedly loops through to get the managers approval) but I am unable to find how to connect power automate to Microsoft teams approval.  Can power automate trigger a teams approval? or outlook only?

what happened to 'post approval request to teams chat' action? I checked experimental features and its not there either. Googling doesnt show up anything either.

”Post approval request to team channel”

 

did they rename an action to this or was this the actual wording of the activity at one point?

    Hello @dperez13 ,

    the approval in Teams is not a separate action, it's just an Adaptive card created by the standard Approval actions in the flow:

    1. Create an approval task using the 'Create an approval' action
    2. Add the 'Post adaptive card in a chat or channel' action and use the 'Teams Adaptive Card' output from the approval to send it to Teams
    3. Add 'Wait for an approval' action to wait for the response before the flow continues
