Hi,
I think you can do it by making Child Flow.

You can find more information here: Call Child Flows - Power Automate | Microsoft Docs

You can try it and if it works for you, please mark this case as solved.
And if you face any problem, please return back and update the case with more information.

Hope the content above may help you.
Thanks.

I had the same requirement on my organization, but I couldn't find any trigger related to Microsoft Teams Approvals inside Power Automate.
I was able to achieve the result by using the connector "Microsoft Dataverse" inside Power Automate, then choosing the trigger "When a row is added, modified or deleted".
Using this trigger I was able to trigger my flow every time a new Approval was created inside Teams.

I hope this helps.

Hi,

I am also trying to use TEAMS Approvals to be a trigger but couldn't find the solution.
Could you give more details on how to do it using child flows?

Hi Felipe.
How did you get the outputs from the trigger (e.g. approval name, type, etc)

Thank you Felipe! You saved me hours of time. For those asking, PowerAutomate will expose all the info you need from both the approval and the table it lives in.

It works.... Thank you!

I have a question. How I can get Sent to/ Approvers from Dataverse because I am unable to find Sent to users in Approvals table. I can only get Owner Id. By using Owner ID, I use "Get a row by ID" action to get Owner Personal Email, Name etc. But I cannot find Approvers or Sent to users details.
I want to Send Email notification to Sent To users because MS Teams Approvals do not send email. Notifications are only sent on MS teams

@ManishSolanki @creativeopinion @Expiscornovus @WillboBaggins Please, suggest something!
