My team has a SharePoint List setup that we want to migrate to Microsoft Teams. I'm working to recreate it in Teams with a lot of success so far. I've created Automated Rules to notify people when new scheduling requests are added to the list. According to the Team, the automated emails on the SharePoint site used to allow approving/denying a request from the automated email. The current email only notifies them that a new item has been created and provides a hyperlink to go to the item in Teams. Is there a way for me to edit the automated email to provide an approve/deny option?  If so, how do I get started?

    @David_MA - this is certainly useful to know, but not what I'm after.  One of the motivators in moving to Microsoft Teams and away from SharePoint is that the List and automated rules we're using were built by a former employee. Much of the automation needs to change, but cannot, because it (appears) to be linked to the former employee's account.

    What do you mean by you want to migrate your SharePoint list to Teams? Any lists you have in Teams are actually stored in SharePoint unless you mean you started out with a Microsoft Lists list and imported it into a team, in which case is still stored in the SharePoint site associated with the team. Anything you could do in your other SharePoint site; you can still do in Teams because it includes a SharePoint site. Just go to the SharePoint site associated with the team and go to site contents and you'll see your list. Then whatever you did there you can do in your new site.
     
    If you don't know how to get to the SharePoint site associated with the team, the easiest way is to:
    1. Open the Teams app
    2. Choose Teams from the sidebar menu
    3. Navigate to the team and choose the General channel
    4. Then click on Files 
    5. In the menu bar, you will see an option to Open in SharePoint
     
    If your original SharePoint site doesn't have Teams associated with it, you can add Teams to it. To do that:
    1. Open the Microsoft Teams app.
    2. At the very top of the sidebar to the right of the word Teams, click the + sign and choose Create team from the menu.
    3. When the menu opens, choose More create team options at the top.
    4. Choose From group.
    5. Find the SharePoint site in the list by its name and click on it, choose Add team and follow any prompts.
    6. Once added, this cannot be undone.
    You will be able to tell when Teams has been added because the Teams icon will be next to the site name:
