RezaDorrani Profile Picture Posted by RezaDorrani 12,141

Hello everyone,

 

In this step-by-step tutorial video for beginners, I will show how to build Conditional & Dynamic Approvals in Power Automate.

To create an approval workflow, use the Approvals - Start and wait for an approval action in any Power Automate flow.

 

Power Automate Conditional Approvals: We will build conditional approval workflows for SharePoint based on a value.

Scenario would be to trigger a user Manager Approval first if amount exceeds a certain limit and then route the approval to the next set of approvers.

 

Power Automate Dynamic Approvers: We will use a "For a selected item" SharePoint trigger-based flow, to call a workflow on demand to perform Approvals.

The user will select the approvers needed for the workflow action directly within SharePoint itself.

 

Power Automate Dynamic Approval Type: We will also provide the user an option to select the Approval Type / Pattern - "First to respond" or "Everyone must Approve".

 

Power Automate Conditional & Dynamic Approvals for SharePoint Lists.

💡 Value based conditional approvals

👉🔘 Allow users to select the Approvers & Approval Type (custom)

 

Scenarios (SharePoint List):

1️⃣ Travel Request Approval: If Amount > 500, include user's Manager Approval.

2️⃣ Content Approval for a selected item: User decides the approvers & pattern of approval
