Posted on by 375

Hi, Im new to flow. I would like to create a flow by sending an approval email when an order is created. The situation is:

 

when Total sales order amount is greater than the credit limit value,

need to send approval for sales order.

 

sales order is from standard order entity while credit limit is from standard account entity.

 

I have the same question (0)

    Hi @NurNina,

     

    You could following these steps to approach that:

    1. Create a Flow with trigger when a record is created;

    2. Create a condition action to check if the total sales order count column is greater than the credit limit column value;

    3. If yes, send an approval request to record editor.

    hi @v-litu-msft ,

     

    I used send email with options. Is it possible to add comment, like adding comment why the order is rejected?

    Hi @NurNina,

     

    You could try to create Start and wait for response action, then append one specific email into the Assigned to parameter.
