Share Approval in Teams

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

Hi,

 

We have a flow in SharePoint which sends outs approvals. This works and the person who started the flow can see the approvals in Teams. 

 

What i am trying to solve is when that person is on holiday no one else can see the approvals so is unable to chase them up. Is it possible to create the approval from a office 365 group so that all the approvals for the flow appear in a Teams channel rather than the person who created the approval?

 

Thanks


James

    Approvals must be assigned to an individual - sorry...

    You might try using the Office 365 Outlook Mail tips action before assigning an approver.  Mailtips will tell you if there is an out of office message active.

    Another technique you might use is to escalate the approval:

    • Set the approval action to time out in a specified number of days.  If it times out, start another approval using a different approver.  You'll use the approval action settings and the run after feature for this.  A quick search will get you numerous examples.

    Let me know if you need more help.
