First, create a SharePoint list to store vacation requests.

Then use one of the available templates to build a flow around it.

It will start with a "when item is created" in SharePoint trigger.

Add an approval action, set the approver and you are done

A couple questions
how do i get a column in my list to be updated with the result of the approval?

Also is there a way I can get the requested dates to transfer to a calendar?

Thanks!

The "Update item" action above modifies the list item status. It is present in both branches of the flow. If approved, it will update the status to "Approved"; otherwise, it will update it to "Rejected".

You can add the dates to the calendar using "Create events" action.
