An introduction to Microsoft Approvals using Power Automate
Within a business, there are many tasks that often require approval, whether it be a customer quote, an employee holiday request, a work order, or something else. This process is common across almost every area and can be difficult to track and manage when so many systems and people are involved. With Microsoft Power Automate, you can manage the approval of documents or processes across several services, including SharePoint, Dynamics 365, Salesforce, OneDrive for Business, and more. As a result, you save time, enforce internal compliance, create an audit trail and streamline your request processes, therefore improving productivity and efficiency.
Examples of how you could use Microsoft Approvals
The use of Microsoft Approvals for organisations is endless and the functionality makes it very easy to use, with the ability to use it for almost any scenario that requires approving or declining. Below are some everyday examples of how your business could utilise Approvals:
- Approving Holiday Requests
