Approvals - Out of Office (Vacations/Sick Leave/etc)- Delegate

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by theChantos 4

Hi Power User Community,

 

This is may be certainly a feat. request for approvals, yet I wish you can share with me some ideas on how can I detect if a person have setup an OOO in outlook so I can delegate the approval at runtime.

 

I would say that would be super nice to configure in the Approval Center a delegate for all the incoming approvals. 

 

Thanks in advance for your advise!. Ed.

    Hi @theChantos,

     

    Do you want to detect whether an email is an Out of Office or not?

     

    I am afraid that it might be not possible currently. Please consider submitting a request on Flow Idea Forum:

    https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Flow-Ideas/idb-p/FlowIdeas

     

     

    Best regards,

    Mabel Mao
