Hi All
here is my scenario,
i want to be able to create a flow that when a user submits a form it then goes their line manager for them to view and approve or decline, i would then want the user to receive a email update with the line managers decision and comments
Also if it was declined there would be a option for appeal
Can this be done ( it would be good if the user could also add attachements although its no neccessary)
Take a look at this video from Reza Dorrani. It provides a good in depth overview of approvals using Power Automate. Power Automate Approval Workflow Basics - YouTube
Im new to power automate- i have built a cpl flows but basic ones,
is there any examples you can point onto to view and learn how to create this one?
That would work also. The address just needs to come from somewhere. You'll also use questions in the form for uploading any attachments that need to be included. The rest is pretty straightforward use of the regular actions in Power Automate.
what if the user was to add the email address of line manager in the form?
The only part of that which I think would be difficult would be if the user's line manager isn't listed in Azure Active Directory as their manager. You'll need somewhere to retrieve who the line manager is for each user. That's easy if its in AAD. But if not there needs to be somewhere that you get that information from. The rest can be done with Microsoft Forms as the initial form and regular Approval and Email actions in the flow.
