Getting Started with Approvals
The flows you worked with in the first few chapters are largely automated (such as detecting new files or emails) or triggered by a user action (such as the button flow to send a template email). In this chapter, we’re going to begin exploring flows that require additional user action to continue, such as an approval flow.
Approval flows require a special service that’s used to hold state information pertinent to the flow. Dataverse (formerly the Common Data Service) is the foundation for more complex flows such as approvals.
Specifically, this chapter will cover the following topics:
- Understanding Dataverse
- Creating an approval flow
- Working with the approval flow
By the end of this chapter, you’ll have a working knowledge of Dataverse and will be able to create basic approval flows.
Let’s dive in!
