Power Automate Ideas

It would be helpful to be able to select one or more person(s) where you can delegate approvals to. For people on vacation it would be very handy to select someone to take care of their approvals when they are on vacation.

Hi, It would be great if it was possible to send out an approval mail to members of an office365 group and get their response back. Thanks

Branching logic would allow multiple workflow processes to run simultaneously. Based on the current functionality it would be very difficult to use Flow for any complex approval scenarios. Right now it's limited to a very linear path with conditions. I would love to have options like: For Each, Conditional Branch, Filter, Loop.

I'd like to be able to capture the approver name. For example, if the approval request is sent to 2 individuals, it would be nice to capture which one approved it.

Most of the flows I approve directly based on the title that is shown with the Approval Request. Having to open the Approval Request before I can approve it is a waste of time. It would be great to be possible to directly Approve or Reject the Approval Request using the Force Touch iOS functionality on iPhones. A mock-up of this functionality on the iPhone looks like: Approve or Deny a Microsoft Flow Approval Request on iPhone using Force Touch

With multiple reviewers it would be nice to have a way to select which approver gets routed the approval request when a file is added to sharepoint. This would help alleviate the approval request going to all approvers, even when the file is intended for one specific approver.

I don't think it's currently possible to replicate the Parrallel Approval that SPD 2010-13 ootb workflows can do? I guess that the PowerApp would be the front end asking the user to enter the names prior to the workflow starting. Adding email attachments to Approval emails would also bring MS Flows closer to what SPD 2013 can do.

Want to be able to run a recurring flow that sends an email request for each item not yet approved or having a certain value within a field within a SharePoint List. Getting an exception that I cannot nest a Send Approval request under a Apply To Each in the Flow designer 😞 . This is something that would be extremly useful for business users .... could use this capability to help get tasks completed, remind people to do certain things on certain days, and follow up more efficiently. This would be a big deal if you can get it working....
