How to: Create a papertrail for physical backup?

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hello all,

 

I've finally made a functional flow but have a question about something that takes place afterwards. Flow.PNG

 

The purpose of this flow is to transfer assets from one department to another. There's an attached word document that has the details of the transfer (device type, SN)  and previously, when we were printing this out, had lines for manager signatures. 

 

With this flow, our finance team doesn't mind if the manager approval just happens via email instead of on paper. 

 

What finance does need though, is a physical print out of the asset happening that they have to use for audits. 

 

Is there a Flow feature that would make a form stating that the Flow sought and got approval from each email?

 

Alternatively, is there a function where the manager's approval email would digitally sign the document?

 

Thank you much for the info!

 

Adam

    Hi @Anonymous,

     

    It seems that you could try to use the connector DocuSign, which is the easiest and most secure way to sign and get documents signed.

    Please check the following doc about DocuSign for more details:

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/connectors/docusign/

    Besides, to state that the flow sought and got approval from each email, the dynamic content Response from the action Start an approval will return Approve/Reject once the approver submitted a response. Then you could use this dynamic content in the following action.

    Hope this could be a reference for you.

     

    Best regards,

    Mabel
