Hi there, thank your for this video! I would like to know how I can display in detail the dates and days for which they are applying for leave in the email that is sent to the manager for approval.
how about to automate the request generating from Microsoft Forms instead of SharePoint? Still want the end result to be in SharePoint but want the employee to use Forms instead. TY
Hi, This was very helpful. I have a few questions 1. How can we restrict view like each employee can only see only own leaves. 2. I cannot find the last part of Calender, it's not showing in my flow creation.
Hi Teck, I was able to achiev this by Creating a Form from where the data gets fed into the SharePoint List (not accessible by Al Staff except the HR Team) so users do not get to edit and also see entries by other staff
Hi, thanks for the useful video. All works fine if I was going on leave for single day. But... when I apply leave for more than a day for eg: 1st Aug to 4th August. It shows confirmation on my teams channle via the list I created only on the end date and not on all 4 days that i will be off. Cant show a snippet !!
I got this warning message that hinders the flow: Power Automate Approvals has not been installed for this environment. Run this approval flow to initiate provisioning. Please help!
THOUGHT I had followed this exactly...but ended up with the following error messages: Flow save failed with code 'OpenApiOperationParameterValidationFailed' and message 'Input parameter 'item' validation failed in workflow operation 'Create_event_(V4)': The parameter with value '"@triggerOutputs()?['body/Datestarted']"' in path 'item/start' with type/format 'String/date' is not convertible to type/format 'String/date-no-tz'.'. Am operating at the very thin outer edges of my she-nerdery
Hi. The runtime value "date2023-08-23" to be converted doesn't have the expected formate "String/date"... I followed each step and it is showing this. How can I fix this?
i have question leave request has created but how user can access and who can see all request second question use will see only his request or he will see all request how we can mange user access to see his records only
in the email notification there are no details on what the leave request dates are, so you couldn't really approve or reject without having this information first ?
Thank you for this video, I am trying to digitise the way staff request time and this is great. However is there a way I can put the requsition part into an app?
You could use Power Apps - "Insert Form" then connect the database that he created in Lists. That would then be your front end im guessing. Publish the app
for example, i sent leave request its approved by manager, then my friend send request, and got approval, but in file both of us can see each other request that is not good just owner can see all request and user can see his request status please advise me how can we do that
Hi, you'll need to go to list settings, then advanced settings tick Read items that were created by the user. That way you'll only see your submitted holiday requests.
Your video very helpful for me. I wonder that how do you can link this flow to shared calendar. If you don't my, please so me about config detail, thanks !
How you add the leave in shared calendar? and also, if i want to manage the employee leaves, but calculating how many leaves they left, possible to do it?
Hi, You can add a event to a shared office 365 calendar or a sharepoint calendar using Power Automate. ie: www.sharepointpro.com.au/create-event/ - Regarding if calculating leave left, it is possible. It depends where you maintain this information. If you maintained the leave left in SharePoint then you could calculate it from a list, otherwise you may need to sync the information to SharePoint unless the crm which holds this information has a Power Automate connector.
Edit : Found this was due to region settings on my sharepoint site. Solved! Hi Michael, thank you for making this really helpful video. I was able to follow all the steps and create a workflow just like yours however I have a problem at the calendar end - the leave period gets added to the sharepoint calendar (when approved) - but in every case the dates are one day too early. e.g. If I request 5th to 10th October then the calendar will show the 4th to the 9th. Do you have any idea what is happening please? Thanks, Mark
I am having the same issue. I checked my regional settings, and fixed my timezone. It's still creating the calendar events a day early. What was your fix?
yes, took me forever. i found this formula online using the start and end times. If it's greater than 1 day then add 5 minutes to the end time, then create the event. first add a with this: div(sub(ticks(triggerOutputs()?['body/End']),ticks(triggerOutputs()?['body/Start'])),864000000000) IS greater or equal to 1, then add 5 minutes to the end time (use Add to Time) -- then create the event@@gregbutler4898
So everything was going well until i needed to add the event to the calendar ... in your video you select Request Off Calendar from the list but from the begging of your video there is no mention of another list called Request Off Calendar nor any mention of creating a specific calendar .. there is something missing just like others below stated
Hi Mark, Sorry about this.. The calendar stores the events after they have been accepted, so you could just as easily use a SharePoint Calendar, or an Office 365 calendar. To start with, first plan where you want to store the leave events after accepted. If its a SharePoint Calendar, Create the SharePoint calendar (via add app - classic experience - Calendar). Once you have that, follow the instructions and when the request is accepted - use a flow to create the item in which ever calendar you chose.

This is helpful, the only problem is that perhaps add how to link a SharePoint Calendar. Thanks. I'm stuck in the last part because our team does not have calendar yet.
Thanks for video but when mail sent to approver - he/she does see any info about what they going to approve.. Detailed information should have been in the approval request so the approved doesn’t need to dig in information before approving
Good day sir. I am attempting to follow your very informative steps and I am near the end and am having a bit of trouble with the section on adding the calendar. I cannot seem to get the same type of fields list you draw up once you enter your list name. I just get the following message: The dynamic operation request to API 'sharepoint online' operation 'GetTable' failed with status code 'NotFound'. This may indicate invalid input parameters.

Hi mate, very cool video - short and straight to the point. Quick question : instead o fhaving a sharepoint calendar I linked the flow to an outlook calendar. The only thing is that, when for example the leave goes from the 10th to the 15tth, outlook would only display that I'm on leave from 10th to 14th. Any idea why it is stopping a day before the actual end of the leave ? Thanks a lot.
I had to add an action, select the "add to time" to add "minutes" to the date to extend past 12:00am ( this is how Microsoft formats the last day thus not adding the final day to the calendar)

Hello, very useful video!!! Just a question. In my organization, every team has its own manager. So leave requests must be sent to different manager by each user. How is this possible?
@@omonoiatiko86 You could add in a 'manager' field to the form as a Person type. Or, if each user has their manager set in Active Directory, you can fetch their manager's details.
@@bnhm1871 I'm struggling with this same question; made a field called Manager, selected Person type and that worked great.
