Creating your own approval email in Flow - how flexible is it?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by VisibleFilm 61

Hi all - I was planning to create my own approval email rather than using the default template using the method decribed here:  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/flow/modern-approvals

 

My question is: how flexible is Flow in building these emails?  Can I add images?  Can i make it look as good as an HTML email?  I noticed this "markdown" language was employed, not sure how robust it is.  Essenitally, I'd kind of like the default Approvals email to look something like the image below - is this feasible in Flow?  Thanks in advance.Test email flow.PNG

    Hi @VisibleFilm,

     

    You could use Markdown to modify the details of the approval content, such as putting the data in a table, highlighting the key points, etc. For specific usage, please refer to the online doc:

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/flow/approvals-markdown-support

    However, the default background you mentioned for modifying Approval email, or similar to the addition of images you mentioned, is currently not possible.

    If you want such a feature to be supported by MS Flow, please post this idea in the Flow Ideas forum, so it might be considered for future releases.
