Power Platform Community Forum Thread Details

I have a SharePoint list with the fields EmpName, Manager, and AppsRequired. The AppsRequired column is a choice column that may take several values. Essentially, it includes a list of application names.
When a new item is created with EmpName, Manager, send an email to the manager asking the application for the new employee. Once the manager has chosen an application, the data should be saved back to the list.
Can we accomplish this by distributing a simple form or through an approval email flow?

Building flows

You could create an adaptive card and send it to the manager through a Teams message. This would allow for the option to choose multiple items. Although, it would be much easier to just send the link to the item and ask the manager to choose the options. You can have the flow trigger when the item is updated, and use the check for changes action to see if the field has been modified.

If you go the adaptive card route, this is an example of the code for an adaptive card:

{
"type": "AdaptiveCard",
"body": [
{
"type": "TextBlock",
"text": "What apps are required?",
"weight": "Bolder",
"size": "Medium"
},
{
"type": "Input.ChoiceSet",
"id": "requiredApps",
"style": "expanded",
"isMultiSelect": true,
"choices": [
{
"title": "Acrobat",
"value": "acrobat"
},
{
"title": "Word",
"value": "word"
},
{
"title": "Excel",
"value": "excel"
},
{
"title": "PowerPoint",
"value": "powerpoint"
},
{
"title": "OneNote",
"value": "onenote"
}
]
}
],
"actions": [
{
"type": "Action.Submit",
"title": "Submit"
}
],
"$schema": "http://adaptivecards.io/schemas/adaptive-card.json",
"version": "1.3"
}

It produces this:
