Do you want to send someone a direct link to an approval request in Power Automate?
Do you want to send someone a direct link to an approval request in Power Automate? This can be useful if you want to remind them via chat or email or assign them a task in Planner or To Do. In this blog post, I’ll show you how to get a link to a specific approval request’s link that you can use in different Power Automate flow concepts.
You may already know that Power Automate has three approval related actions : Start and wait for an approval, Wait for an approval, and Create an approval. Each of these actions has different dynamic content available for later steps. To get a link to a specific approval request, we need to use the Create an approval action because it gives us access to the Respond link dynamic content. This is the link that will take users directly to the approval board in Power Automate with their approval task open awaiting response.
Creating a link to a specific approval request in Power Automate is a fairly simple process, and can be done in a few simple steps. First, open the Power Automate app and select the flow that you want to link to. Next, click the "Approvals" tab at the top of the page. Here, you will be able to view, edit, and create new approval requests. To create a link to a specific approval request, click the "Create Link" button and enter the necessary details. Once the link is created, you can copy and paste it into the desired location. This link can then be used to direct users to that specific approval request.
