What an incredible video with so many golden nuggets that I could use for my own projects. The Security section was one of the best sections that nobody talks about, and you covered so beautifully step be step Reza. Thanks again for sharing, brother.
For our old on-prem workflows we used AD groups to get approvers. Now moving to SharePoint lists, since this is so much easier. Thank you for the video! Good stuff!
Reza - this is great information! You have expanded my knowledge for a project that I didn't know how I would handle it. This helps so much! Thanks again!!!
I wondered if this is possible to start the approval process based on a column change in a SharePoint document library. I have requests that go through committee. The committee decided Approved, Approved with Exception, Tabled, Rejected. If approved and Approved with Exception it does to committee lead and then a VP. Also I really appreciate the information on securing the list items. So perfect! @@RezaDorrani
Very clever stuff, Reza. It makes me wonder how you would document a complex flow like this so that it can be supported by others in an organisation. In fact a video on how to document complex flows and/or Power Apps would be very useful.
I typically write comments for each action using "Notes" option for action. I make videos when I get multiple requests on a particular topic. Every quarter I ask subscribers for topic suggestions on the Community Tab of my RUclips channel. Subscribers vote for topics and the highest voted topics get added to my backlog. Make sure you post this in the next topic suggestion post. If it gets a lot of votes, I will add it to my backlog.

Hi Reza, Thanks for the helpful videos. I changed this solution a little bit for my scenario, the trigger is “when an item or file is modified”, trigger conditions are 1) approval status is “Rejected” and “modified by email = Requester email”., I am not sure why it doesn't consistently trigger despite meeting these conditions during tests. In general, I mixed up the points from different videos to cover my scenario, my setup consisting of three flows. Flow 1 receives CER requests from MS Forms and transfers the data and attachments to a SharePoint List. Flow 2 handles approvals based on the department selected in the form and can involve 0 to 4 approvers, sending it for hierarchical approval. If the decision is 'Rejected,' it allows the form submitter to modify and restart the approval process. To handle Rejected items, I've set up Flow 3 with trigger conditions 'when an item or file is modified' and conditions 'approval status is 'Rejected' and 'modified by email = Requester email.' the trigger of Flow 3 doesn't work consistently. Can anyone offer insights or suggestions to resolve this issue?
I have not come across the mentioned issue and hence not sure what the fix for your issue is. I recommend posting your issue with screenshots on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com
This is better than my solution to create a new view and filter by name or approver. It removes the need for the owners to change the view to see all. I will try it tomorrow. Thanks!
Awesome video Rezza, video like this is the reason why your fan base is increasing day by day that too organically :). Thanks a lot for doing so much for the society.
I appreciate the clear concise way you present this material. Thank you. I'm very new to Power Automate flows. I have implemented an approval workflow based on this tutorial. However, when the user updates an item, after it was rejected, the modified information appears saved but then is replaced with the original information when the flow processes through the Rejected loop. It seems at times to keep it then at other times to not.
Great video as usual Rezza! Might nick your idea of adding the approval info to the item using the html table! haha. Another thing i have added to a couple of my approval Flows so far, is to handle the Cancel button in Teams Approvals, for me when it is clicked the Approval will continue without an Outcome. I test for this in a condition, notify the Approvers and do the same as rejected, giving edit permissions back so the request can be resubmitted. Very handy if a user has made a mistake and want to correct it without asking the approver to Reject, and stops them bothering me. Thanks
Hi, this is what i'm looking for! How do you check if the Approval has been cancelled? Which step did you add in power automate for that? thanks in advance ;)
I'm convinced that you are a Microsoft AI creating these insane workflows (on other topics as well) helping others to actually utilise tools from the Microsoft Stack. Anyway: thank you!
Thanks so much Reza. I have watched so many of your videos looking for help and always find exactly what I'm looking for plus tons of additional hints and tips. i wouldn't have a quarter of the know how and skills I have if you were not around to help.
This video is gold! I have a question though. Minute 1:59. What if I want to block or hide even the "Edit in grid view" function too? Cause even though they can't see that specific field when adding a new item, they can alway edit it in grid view. Many many thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Dear Reza, Thank you very much for your contribution, it is really world class. I would be very happy if you at least show or comment on how to connect two or three html tables, as I'm sure some will have the issue. I think it is very important for the flow! Many people always have a different group, which first approves it, so that it then comes to the standard approval process. Many thanks for your help. Best regards from Germany
Excellent video. you depicts the actual scenarios, covered each aspect of approval cycle which is very informative . use variety of actions and triggers . superb hats off.
Hi Reza, Thanks for sharing the approval process this is amazing. The only point you haven’t covered is the licensing element, this has been a big blackhole to me. will all users who have access to share point need a license to execute the flow ? Or how much does it this approval cost. Thanks
Great video! I would love to see some videos on Document Set Approvals. Nobody on the Internet is doing justice to that topic. I would like to have an approval (manual or automated) that approves all documents in a document set at once, instead of individually approving the documents.
I am using a corporate E3 license, and when I try to create my flow, I see a different screen than what you see at 2:23. I see a screen labeled "Flows > Send a customized email when a new SharePoint item is added" and it looks very different.
Thank you, Rezza! It is a great video to understand the use of state machine What I want to know if there is an option that the approver complete some extra fields and add some new files.
Dear MR Reza, Thank you very much for the very useful tutorial. I have one question about action "compose". After copy the functions and plug them in Triger, Is the compose action deleted?
Thanks a lot for the tutorial. Excellent video. I had a doubt. In the last example (20:15), James created the expense item but the text in the email that Sarah receives for approval - "Requested by Reza Dorrani " (20:33). Shouldn't it be James?
I would have to try out this scenario to provide the trigger condition. I recommend checking or posting your query on forums in case someone has done something similar powerusers.microsoft.com
Does anyone know of a way to check if the person who created the item is in a specific mail enabled security group, and if so to disable the workflow process? @13:30 I would like to use this flow for a ticketing system, but I'd like to skip the process of approvals if the ticket is created from one of my internal technicians vs a customer / user.
I just joined. I love your channel. I need help on changing this workflow. Instead of pulling from an AD group for approvers. I would like to add a column to the list (which I did - I added person) for approvers so you can put in an approver of my choice. I then need to pull the people from this input.
You have the BEST content, Reza! How can we create a .PDF from a Word.doc after the document has been approved and save the .pdf to a "Approved document " folder?
Thanks! I do not have a video reference on this scenario and would have to try it out to provide guidance. I would recommend posting your issue/query with screenshots on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com
Hi Reza, Thank you for all of the video's you post! It has helped me gain a better understanding of the entire Power Platform. I have a question regarding the HTML Table. I was able to adapt my Invoice Approval flow based off of this video and have hit a wall. I had to add a 2nd "start and wait for an approval" due to their actions being different from the 1st approval. How can I put the response from the 2nd approval within the HTLM table? Thanks
I do not have a video reference on this scenario and would have to try it out to provide guidance. I would recommend posting your issue/query with screenshots on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com
at 1:14 you are adding your own custom Sharepoint column called Status. Isn't there an already built in status column that SharePoint creates (for the approval process), that you could use instead?
Hi rezza, I am your big fan of your work. I hope you are the only one person who could answer this currently. Is there any way to connect power bi dataset to power app. Sometimes people use analysis service cubes for power bi it will be great if power apps could be connected to power bi datasets. Please let me know
Firstly, I hope I am not the only one who knows about this :) You can use power bi data set in power apps but it has 2 rules. 1 - data set is read only 2 - power apps can only read 1000 records Watch ruclips.net/video/5y2jJyH4Eu0/видео.html
@@RezaDorrani Hi rezza, I have tried with the a solution based on your video on write back to power bi through power apps ...it's working fine. Is there any way to use two power bi datasets in same app rezza
Reza, This is fantastic and helpful, please help me to add a html table when email triggers to approver, so that approver can see the details without visiting the SharePoint list.
Great video, Reza, like so many others you have made. If I may make a suggestion for an additional video: Can the flow be modified that if the item gets approved, the approver (or rejecter) must authenticate, e.g., username/password? Then, the successful authentication event is listed in the list or an associated list.
Thank you Reza for another great video. We really appreciate them and how you go straight to the point, no wasting time. I just have a question regarding the multi-line text field with the 'append' option enabled. I am currently facing some issues to directly displaying that info in Power Apps. The only solution I have found is to address users to the current item itself and see all the information, but it would be great if I could manage to show the multi-line content live. Any idea/expression on how to do it? Again, thanks for all your contributions! 🥇
Thanks for watching and liking the videos! Multi-line append text uses versioning behind the scenes and hence with power apps you wont get those values unless you call flow to get all the version history info and then show it.
I have done 17 videos on approvals. Check approvals playlist on my channel. You can mix and match patterns and formulate the workflow for your scenario.
Hi Reza, thank you for all your videos, there have been very helpful!!! A quick question, I have tried to add a multiline field in a DCUMNENT library and under more options there are NOT the append or RTF toggles. Any ideas how to overcome this? Am I doing something wrong?
Good catch! Modern Lib does not have that option. You could instead log approvals in a different way. Example: ruclips.net/video/GyoD0DD_fW0/видео.html
This is great. Explains a lot of good concepts and I have it running. There is one catch for me that I can't figure out. You can enter comments in the email approval. Mine doesn't open to comments it jumps to that item in the list allowing the approver to add comments over there. That is less than ideal, no need to leave email. How do you allow the comments in the email?
You are the best. Thank you so much for all of your content. Especially this topic is so nice and useful! Great work, and thanks for sharing your knowledge
This is great. Well done for finding a solution with the new actions and some complexity. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if all this was just handled natively when assigning Approver permissions!!
Thanks Paul. Yes, it would be great but not every scenario requires item level permissions. + Approvals is a general action in flow. It could be used with any data source or service.
This is fantastic Reza thanks so much. I just have one issue if you can help. I have followed your instructions and used your formulas throughout, however, the approval workflow box is very small on my form, how can I get it to fill the whole screen like yours does?
@@RezaDorrani sorry Reza I wasn't very clear, it was the styled html table for approvals. I followed this but for some reason my boxes are really small on the form but yours fill the whole screen. At 14.42 in the video your approval info box is across the whole form but mine is in a smaller box. Does that make sense? thanks
Hi Reza, thanks again for a excellent tutorial. This is brilliant!!. I was up and running in a matter of a couple hours. in your demo when you clicked on the Approver or Reject buttons in the email, the user focus remained within the email experience where you can add a comment then click Submit. Today, when I clicked on the Approve or Reject buttons in the email, the user focus now leaves the email and goes to the Power Automate Approval page where the user can add a comment then click Confirm. Is this new behavior of the Approval process since your demo it in 11/2022? I wish I could keep the "email-centric" experience that you demoed b/c I think it is more user friendly, than taking the user to a completely different page in Power Automate Approvals to complete the approval process.
Hi Reza, this is great information, this Flow has a lot of information, which can be used in many different ways, always appreciate your knowledge sharing! 👍👍🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Nice Video. I used your approach in of my use case where I have 3 approvals level. In my list I was able to see all 3 approvers actions. But on my detail screen in power apps, it only display one approver. I want all approvers actions display on the detail form.
I will have to look at your app and scenario in action to know the reason for your issue. I recommend posting your query with screenshots on the forums powerusers.microsoft.com
Thanks Reza, your videos are so helpful for a first-time user! Do you know of a way to show the date the document was approved in a column of the document library? I have hit a roadblock with the content approval turned on. When I try to use the trigger "update the file properties" to update an approved date column I added, it kicks the document back into draft mode, even when I set the trigger for the status to change to approval below that action. Thanks!
Not something I have tried but your outline seems right. I will have to look at your flow in action to provide guidance. I would recommend posting your issue/query with screenshots on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com in case someone has done something similar.
Hi Reza, fantastic video it was really helpful. I've tried to implement the same approval flow, but as a sequential approval and I'm encountering an issue which I'm hoping you help with. When the approver 'rejects' the request the status correctly changes to 'rejected', but the flow triggers and runs again automatically updating the status to 'under review' and requesting another round of approval not giving the user the opportunity to modify and update the item. Thanks
Most welcome! Depends upon trigger of your flow. If flow is set to run on item modified, then it would run. I have done videos on flow trigger conditions that shows how to run flow based upon a specific scenario.
Hi Reza, thank you for this amazing vide. This is exactly what I was looking for. The only thing I am not able to figure out is the HTML style output to SharePoint column. My approval info column shows the formatting and padding texts as well along with the approval information. How were you able to show the information in the form of link that says 'View Entries'?
Very good video, Reza I have a query if I don't have access to create groups in Azure AD, how can I handle that step in the flow you created? do you have any video you recommend, derrepente working with sharepoint groups where I am an administrator?
Hi Reza- Thank you for all of your videos. I want to do something similar to the security -- stop sharing/grant access. But, I just need that once the status goes into pending it goes into view mode. But the issue I run into is, i can to the grant access-view but it makes me put in specific users. I need this to be able to be seen but not touched by anyone coming to the site after its in pending status
There are SharePoint apis you can call using http SharePoint action in flow to set permissions as well. You may have to explore them for your use case.
Great video! I have a question. What are permissions for the account used to build the workflow on the SharePoint site? I believe all the updates on the item are done by that account. Thanks
Another Great Video Reza. Thank you. Any advice on how to create a bulk approval? The desired outcome is for a user to be able to send eg 5 expenses items to their line manager for approval (the trigger is a field called submit to LM=Yes). The line manager only wants to receive one email. The line manager will either approve or reject all if they cannot specify with has been approved
Bulk approvals is currently not supported. You could send a single approval and include details of items in approval body. I do not have any video reference on this though. Might be a good idea to check on forums in case someone has done something similar powerusers.microsoft.com
2 года назад+1
Great hints with Trigger conditions especially this Creator = Editor rule. 👍🏻❤🚀
Great video thanks Reza! Am I correct in thinking you can only hide the status column from users with edit access to the SharePoint list item? Would be good to prevent users from being able to change this
Yes you can but hiding is not security. A smart user can always get to update status if needed. Check ruclips.net/video/EJyZfYMi4n0/видео.htmlsi=-bT13bAD92j9Y1Mc
Thanks so much for this great content! I cannot find the video on how to create an Azure AD group. So I manually entered email addresses during that step. Unfortunately, it did not work. Are you able to help me find another way to work around the azure group?
I dont think I have done a video on creating azure ad groups. I have not come across the mentioned issue and hence not sure what the cause could be. I recommend posting your issue on forums in case someone has experienced something similar powerusers.microsoft.coming
Amazing video it is, I have a question, All members of the site can be able to see all submissions request in the list? Member should only see his request? Please advise!
Hello Reza, I been following this tutorial step by step and noticed that at time 7:45 and 8:15 you said you would put these expression in the description but i cannot these expressions in the description of any of the comments. So what are these expressions. Thanks in advance
Hi Reza, another great video, thank you! Do you know if this same use case would work if the input to the list was through a Power app? I assume it would, since the app in my case is mostly just a user interface over the list. I'd have to figure out the link to item bringing them to the app instead of the list though. Thanks!
@@syarilahmad315 I have not experienced this hence not sure. I have done 17-18 approval videos. They are all in a playlist on my channel. You can try exploring them.
@@RezaDorranialright sure.. btw is there any solution in SharePoint if other managers can't see the data from another manager's employee. Example, the manager only can see the employees under them
Thanks so much @Reza. This is a very helpful content. I am having challenge. When the approval is rejected, it keep triggering the whole workflow. I used this for the composer as you did: equals(triggerOutputs()?['body/Author/Email'],triggerOutputs()?['body/Editor/Email']) I added it in trigger setting with this one: @or(equals(triggerOutputs()?['body/Status/Value'],'New'),equals(triggerOutputs()?['body/Status/Value'],'Rejected')) What am I doing wrong
Its very informative video. I like it. I want to ask that im creating a flow with approvers as managers from respective team members. Do i have the flexibility that if an employee creates an item on the SP list then it should go to his respective manager then the finance.?
It should be possible. I have done many videos on approvals showcasing various scenarios and patterns. I will recommend checking the approvals playlist on my channel
@@RezaDorrani Yess, looking at each video. However, I tried to look at the HTML table style expressions and its not working at all.. I modified to debug but not working. can you check??
Hi Reza, your videos are the best, most helpful tutorials I’ve found. Thank you for your work putting them together! In our company, we need to validate items in a SharePoint list on a regular basis and I tried to apply to each item an approval workflow, but it waits for one to finish before starting the next. I would rather not need to create 50 separate flows manually each month. Should I try to use the Flow Management Create Flow function, or is there an easier way to have multiple approvals running simultaneously?
Thanks so much for the feedback and appreciation. Approval workflows cannot be run on multiple items at once (current scenario) + once the approval action is started - it will wait for a response and hence the need to finish prior to moving to next item. Create a separate flow for each item would be an overkill. One option could be to trigger a flow when an item gets modified (conditional trigger based on a specific column being updated) - and write a job (flow) that updates that specific column for all items in the list which in turn would trigger the flow for validation/approval of items.
Thanks Reza. After approval or rejection, the approval info column gives this text formula instead of the approval or rejection text i have indicated, 'replace(replace(replace(body('Create_HTML_table'),'','
I will have to look at your flow in action to provide guidance. I would recommend posting your issue/query with screenshots on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com
@@RezaDorrani I'm having this same issue. Instead of the info thats supposed to be there, the approval info column contains '),' and the date is ',' and so forth. Any help?
Hi Reza, your videos are the best!! One question I was wondering about. We are trying to do an approval process with a document library, and I noticed that it won't allow me to make the approval info column rich text enabled. I think it's a limitation or maybe even a bug for doc libraries. Will this prevent me from adding the table formatted comments? That was the coolest part! Thank you!
Always excellent tutorials. The stop sharing did not work for do you have any thoughts why? Also how are we able to create a file with all the approval history- I do have premium connectors
I have not experienced this issue hence not sure what the reason could be. I recommend posting your issue with screenshots on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com
Fantastic Reza. I saw that there was an email that got triggered from Microsoft flow to the approver. Is there a way we can trigger an email from a person so that the experience is good as in big companies, people may not look at emails coming from such email addresses. If there is a video on similar lines, pls do share. Once again a fantastic content.
Hi Reza, I have found this video very useful thank you very much. Do you have a video giving advice on how to make the comments mandatory in the approval? I have seen a solution with Do Until but wondered what your best solution would be. Thanks.
Hello Reza! Tks for your video. Quick question: is there a way to grant access just to edit the column Attachment when a request is Rejected in this case?
hi Reza! thanks for sharing different power automate videos. it really helps us to automate things in our group who are beginners in this area. hoping for more informative videos... :) I tried this flow however, I'm encountering an issue. because when the item is rejected, the flow triggers auto in a matter of seconds in w/c this is not the case I'm expecting. the scenario I'm looking for is to wait for the owner to finish the update before it sends a rereview request. is there a way to do that especially if this is for a file in a library? can we use the start and wait for the approval to trigger the request review (leverage from your state machine video)? hoping for your help! thanks a lot! more power to you! :)
auto, w/c? I'm not good at acronyms. I have a full playlist on approvals which has around 18 videos covering various use cases. See if any of the videos match your scenario. If not, then I will recommend checking on forums in case someone has done something similar powerusers.microsoft.com/
Nevermind, I commented thinking I had the same issue as the OP, but I realized that it was because I was the creator of the item as well as the approver. After a co-worker submitted the item the conditions on the trigger worked correctly. Great work!!! Thank you so much!
Geez, I can't believe actually I was searching for this exact topic for a project earlier. How can this coincidence happen? 😲

However, when the user updates an item, after it was rejected, the modified information appears saved but then is replaced with the original information when the flow processes through the Rejected loop. It seems at times to keep it then at other times to not.
Most welcome!
I have not experienced the mentioned issue, hence not sure what's the cause for it. It does not seem to be expected behavior.
Here we have complete approval system. Thanks Reza. Awesome
Most welcome
you're my favorite youtube creator, always saving my life😅
Wow! Thank You
No words, just excellent !!! even I was looking for similar use case of logging the comments in tabular format.
Thanks Pawan. Glad to hear the video is useful.
been struggling for 4 days with that infinite loop. thank you again reza sir
Most welcome!
Great video as usual Rezza! Might nick your idea of adding the approval info to the item using the html table! haha.
Another thing i have added to a couple of my approval Flows so far, is to handle the Cancel button in Teams Approvals, for me when it is clicked the Approval will continue without an Outcome.
I test for this in a condition, notify the Approvers and do the same as rejected, giving edit permissions back so the request can be resubmitted. Very handy if a user has made a mistake and want to correct it without asking the approver to Reject, and stops them bothering me.
Thanks
That’s a great point Iain. Thanks for sharing.
Hi, this is what i'm looking for! How do you check if the Approval has been cancelled? Which step did you add in power automate for that? thanks in advance ;)
I'm convinced that you are a Microsoft AI creating these insane workflows (on other topics as well) helping others to actually utilise tools from the Microsoft Stack. Anyway: thank you!

Wow such amazing detail. This is great!
Thank you so much!
Thanks so much Reza. I have watched so many of your videos looking for help and always find exactly what I'm looking for plus tons of additional hints and tips. i wouldn't have a quarter of the know how and skills I have if you were not around to help.
You are so welcome!
This video is gold! I have a question though. Minute 1:59. What if I want to block or hide even the "Edit in grid view" function too? Cause even though they can't see that specific field when adding a new item, they can alway edit it in grid view. Many many thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Most welcome!
There is a setting under list settings to do that. May be under advanced settings. Check the options there.

Dear Reza,
Thank you very much for your contribution, it is really world class.
I would be very happy if you at least show or comment on how to connect two or three html tables, as I'm sure some will have the issue. I think it is very important for the flow!
Many people always have a different group, which first approves it, so that it then comes to the standard approval process.
Many thanks for your help.
Best regards from Germany
Most welcome!
Check my playlist on approvals. I have covered various scenarios.
Permission is definitely a take home for me. Thank you Reza

Let's create more apps/flows together :)
Hi Reza,
Thanks for sharing the approval process this is amazing.
The only point you haven’t covered is the licensing element, this has been a big blackhole to me.
will all users who have access to share point need a license to execute the flow ?
Or how much does it this approval cost.
Thanks
Approvals connector is a standard connector.
@@RezaDorrani Thanks Does this imply we dont need subscription for this flow , i.e. no cost invloved than this is great.
@@zuah04881 You still need a standard office license that has power automated covered.
Great video! I would love to see some videos on Document Set Approvals. Nobody on the Internet is doing justice to that topic. I would like to have an approval (manual or automated) that approves all documents in a document set at once, instead of individually approving the documents.
Thanks!
Videos on doc set approvals are rare, since usage is low - that's my guess.
Thanks Reza , I am glad to have this kind of video.
Most welcome
I am using a corporate E3 license, and when I try to create my flow, I see a different screen than what you see at 2:23. I see a screen labeled "Flows > Send a customized email when a new SharePoint item is added" and it looks very different.

You simply need to create a new flow and follow the steps as shown in th3 video.

What I want to know if there is an option that the approver complete some extra fields and add some new files.
Welcome!
Currently, the approval action does not have any option for add extra fields or files.
Dear MR Reza, Thank you very much for the very useful tutorial. I have one question about action "compose". After copy the functions and plug them in Triger, Is the compose action deleted?
You can delete it
Thanks a lot for the tutorial. Excellent video. I had a doubt. In the last example (20:15), James created the expense item but the text in the email that Sarah receives for approval - "Requested by Reza Dorrani " (20:33). Shouldn't it be James?
Might have been as editing mistake. Best to try it out at your end.
@@RezaDorrani The same thing happened to mine.
@@joaofelipenascimento8248 approval action has requested by property. You can set that as item creator.

Great 👍
Does anyone know of a way to check if the person who created the item is in a specific mail enabled security group, and if so to disable the workflow process? @13:30 I would like to use this flow for a ticketing system, but I'd like to skip the process of approvals if the ticket is created from one of my internal technicians vs a customer / user.

Hi Reza, Thank you for all of the video's you post! It has helped me gain a better understanding of the entire Power Platform. I have a question regarding the HTML Table. I was able to adapt my Invoice Approval flow based off of this video and have hit a wall.

at 1:14 you are adding your own custom Sharepoint column called Status. Isn't there an already built in status column that SharePoint creates (for the approval process), that you could use instead?
No there is not. There is an approval status column for lists/lirabries with content approval enabled.

Hi rezza, I am your big fan of your work. I hope you are the only one person who could answer this currently. Is there any way to connect power bi dataset to power app. Sometimes people use analysis service cubes for power bi it will be great if power apps could be connected to power bi datasets. Please let me know
Firstly, I hope I am not the only one who knows about this :)
You can use power bi data set in power apps but it has 2 rules.
1 - data set is read only
2 - power apps can only read 1000 records

This is fantastic and helpful, please help me to add a html table when email triggers to approver, so that approver can see the details without visiting the SharePoint list.
Approval action does not support html. It uses markdown syntax. Check documentation
Great video, Reza, like so many others you have made. If I may make a suggestion for an additional video: Can the flow be modified that if the item gets approved, the approver (or rejecter) must authenticate, e.g., username/password? Then, the successful authentication event is listed in the list or an associated list.
Thanks!
Why would you want approver to authenticate? Aren;t they already authenticated to take the approval decision.
Hi Raza Every time, you deliver excellent videos. I appreciate your support.
Thanks so much
Thank you Reza for another great video. We really appreciate them and how you go straight to the point, no wasting time. I just have a question regarding the multi-line text field with the 'append' option enabled. I am currently facing some issues to directly displaying that info in Power Apps. The only solution I have found is to address users to the current item itself and see all the information, but it would be great if I could manage to show the multi-line content live. Any idea/expression on how to do it? Again, thanks for all your contributions! 🥇
Thanks for watching and liking the videos!
Multi-line append text uses versioning behind the scenes and hence with power apps you wont get those values unless you call flow to get all the version history info and then show it.
This is amazing. And this flow is almost exactly what I need except I need the approvals to be in series and also add on conditions based on amount.
I have done 17 videos on approvals. Check approvals playlist on my channel. You can mix and match patterns and formulate the workflow for your scenario.
Great video, Trigger condition is very clever. keep it up.🌹
Thank You
You are the best tutor. Thanks Reza.
Thanks so much
Hi Reza,
You are amazing. Have you got any video for Microsoft List and reminders based on due dates. Let me know if you got any. Thank you again
I have done videos on sending reminders with flows. You will need to check those. Microsoft Lists and SharePoint lists are on and the same.
Hi Reza, thank you for all your videos, there have been very helpful!!! A quick question, I have tried to add a multiline field in a DCUMNENT library and under more options there are NOT the append or RTF toggles. Any ideas how to overcome this? Am I doing something wrong?
Good catch! Modern Lib does not have that option.
You could instead log approvals in a different way.
Example: ruclips.net/video/GyoD0DD_fW0/видео.html
This is great. Explains a lot of good concepts and I have it running. There is one catch for me that I can't figure out. You can enter comments in the email approval. Mine doesn't open to comments it jumps to that item in the list allowing the approver to add comments over there. That is less than ideal, no need to leave email. How do you allow the comments in the email?
Outlook needs to have a particular version and above for it to support actionable emails. Check documentation for actionable emails.
You are the best. Thank you so much for all of your content. Especially this topic is so nice and useful! Great work, and thanks for sharing your knowledge
Wow, thank you!
This is great. Well done for finding a solution with the new actions and some complexity.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if all this was just handled natively when assigning Approver permissions!!
Thanks Paul.
Yes, it would be great but not every scenario requires item level permissions.
+ Approvals is a general action in flow. It could be used with any data source or service.
Thank you so much. You save a lot of my time…great support for me!
You are welcome!
This is fantastic Reza thanks so much. I just have one issue if you can help. I have followed your instructions and used your formulas throughout, however, the approval workflow box is very small on my form, how can I get it to fill the whole screen like yours does?
Workflow box? What time in video was that shown?
@@RezaDorrani sorry Reza
I wasn't very clear, it was the styled html table for approvals. I followed this but for some reason my boxes are really small on the form but yours fill the whole screen. At 14.42 in the video your approval info box is across the whole form but mine is in a smaller box. Does that make sense? thanks
@@derrenwatkins184 I did not do anything special there. Not sure why it would be showing small in your case.
@@RezaDorrani not to worry Reza, I will try and find out what happened. Thanks again for a brilliant video though
Hi Reza, thanks again for a excellent tutorial. This is brilliant!!. I was up and running in a matter of a couple hours.
in your demo when you clicked on the Approver or Reject buttons in the email, the user focus remained within the email experience where you can add a comment then click Submit.
Today, when I clicked on the Approve or Reject buttons in the email, the user focus now leaves the email and goes to the Power Automate Approval page where the user can add a comment then click Confirm. Is this new behavior of the Approval process since your demo it in 11/2022?
I wish I could keep the "email-centric" experience that you demoed b/c I think it is more user friendly, than taking the user to a completely different page in Power Automate Approvals to complete the approval process.
Depends upon the version of Outlook you are leveraging. I believe somewhere in MS docs, there are details of outlook version needed.
Hi Reza, this is great information, this Flow has a lot of information, which can be used in many different ways, always appreciate your knowledge sharing! 👍👍🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks Reza! Great video. Do you have maybe a video of how to create gantt chart using power apps? I found nothing
I do not have a video on gantt chart
Nice Video. I used your approach in of my use case where I have 3 approvals level. In my list I was able to see all 3 approvers actions. But on my detail screen in power apps, it only display one approver. I want all approvers actions display on the detail form.
I will have to look at your app and scenario in action to know the reason for your issue. I recommend posting your query with screenshots on the forums powerusers.microsoft.com
Thanks Reza, your videos are so helpful for a first-time user! Do you know of a way to show the date the document was approved in a column of the document library? I have hit a roadblock with the content approval turned on. When I try to use the trigger "update the file properties" to update an approved date column I added, it kicks the document back into draft mode, even when I set the trigger for the status to change to approval below that action. Thanks!
Not something I have tried but your outline seems right. I will have to look at your flow in action to provide guidance. I would recommend posting your issue/query with screenshots on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com in case someone has done something similar.
Hi Reza, fantastic video it was really helpful. I've tried to implement the same approval flow, but as a sequential approval and I'm encountering an issue which I'm hoping you help with.
When the approver 'rejects' the request the status correctly changes to 'rejected', but the flow triggers and runs again automatically updating the status to 'under review' and requesting another round of approval not giving the user the opportunity to modify and update the item.
Thanks
Most welcome!
Depends upon trigger of your flow. If flow is set to run on item modified, then it would run.
I have done videos on flow trigger conditions that shows how to run flow based upon a specific scenario.
Hi Reza, thank you for this amazing vide. This is exactly what I was looking for. The only thing I am not able to figure out is the HTML style output to SharePoint column. My approval info column shows the formatting and padding texts as well along with the approval information. How were you able to show the information in the form of link that says 'View Entries'?
I did this video a long ago so do not remember the specifics. I think I made the multi line column rich text append text.
@@RezaDorrani thank you so much! :) That did the trick.

Hi Reza- Thank you for all of your videos. I want to do something similar to the security -- stop sharing/grant access. But, I just need that once the status goes into pending it goes into view mode. But the issue I run into is, i can to the grant access-view but it makes me put in specific users. I need this to be able to be seen but not touched by anyone coming to the site after its in pending status
There are SharePoint apis you can call using http SharePoint action in flow to set permissions as well. You may have to explore them for your use case.
Great video! I have a question. What are permissions for the account used to build the workflow on the SharePoint site? I believe all the updates on the item are done by that account. Thanks
Account must have Site Owner access
Another Great Video Reza. Thank you. Any advice on how to create a bulk approval?
The desired outcome is for a user to be able to send eg 5 expenses items to their line manager for approval (the trigger is a field called submit to LM=Yes). The line manager only wants to receive one email. The line manager will either approve or reject all if they cannot specify with has been approved
Bulk approvals is currently not supported. You could send a single approval and include details of items in approval body. I do not have any video reference on this though. Might be a good idea to check on forums in case someone has done something similar
powerusers.microsoft.com
Great hints with Trigger conditions especially this Creator = Editor rule. 👍🏻❤🚀
Glad to hear that! Thanks so much
Great video thanks Reza! Am I correct in thinking you can only hide the status column from users with edit access to the SharePoint list item? Would be good to prevent users from being able to change this
Yes you can but hiding is not security. A smart user can always get to update status if needed.

Hi Reza, your videos are the best, most helpful tutorials I’ve found. Thank you for your work putting them together! In our company, we need to validate items in a SharePoint list on a regular basis and I tried to apply to each item an approval workflow, but it waits for one to finish before starting the next. I would rather not need to create 50 separate flows manually each month. Should I try to use the Flow Management Create Flow function, or is there an easier way to have multiple approvals running simultaneously?
Thanks so much for the feedback and appreciation.
Approval workflows cannot be run on multiple items at once (current scenario) + once the approval action is started - it will wait for a response and hence the need to finish prior to moving to next item.
Create a separate flow for each item would be an overkill.
One option could be to trigger a flow when an item gets modified (conditional trigger based on a specific column being updated) - and write a job (flow) that updates that specific column for all items in the list which in turn would trigger the flow for validation/approval of items.
Thanks Reza. After approval or rejection, the approval info column gives this text formula instead of the approval or rejection text i have indicated, 'replace(replace(replace(body('Create_HTML_table'),'','

Fantastic Reza. I saw that there was an email that got triggered from Microsoft flow to the approver. Is there a way we can trigger an email from a person so that the experience is good as in big companies, people may not look at emails coming from such email addresses. If there is a video on similar lines, pls do share. Once again a fantastic content.
Build the flow with a service account then it will all look good
Hi Reza, I have found this video very useful thank you very much. Do you have a video giving advice on how to make the comments mandatory in the approval? I have seen a solution with Do Until but wondered what your best solution would be. Thanks.
The do until option is probably the most feasible way. Out of the box as of now, we have no option to make it mandatory.
Hello Reza! Tks for your video. Quick question: is there a way to grant access just to edit the column Attachment when a request is Rejected in this case?
