Hi,

My company are evaluating Power Automate to perhaps use for a specific business process. So far so good, we have setup a nice simple BP and approval workflow and the audit trail. BUT there are additional requirements now that I cannot figure out....

In the Email that gets generated to the Approver (Start and wait for an Approval) Is it possible to add a series of Checkboxes or Radio buttons of items the approver would need to check for during the approval process rather than just Approve / Reject buttons?

Something like this:

Hi there,

No - an approval task, out of the box, only contains the outcomes you select (Accept / Reject, Yes / No, Authorize / Reject / More Info.. whatever.)

With what you've shown as your checkboxes, that seems easily avoidable by saying "by clicking Accept you confirm that you have completed tasks A, B, and C."

If it is absolutely imperative that you have them select these, you could request the approval through a custom form, or you could forego approvals and use a custom list entry. I usually end up doing custom approval lists, also because the approvals only have a 30 day lifespan, anyway.

Let me know what you think,
