Power Automate: Automating Approval Workflows Without Code
Learn how to build automated approval workflows in Microsoft Power Automate — no coding required. This workshop covers the templates and patterns that work best for UT staff managing document reviews, purchase requests, and recurring sign-off processes.
About this workshop
Power Automate is one of the most immediately useful tools in the Microsoft 365 suite for staff who manage repetitive approval processes — but most people don't know it exists or assume it requires technical skills.
This session shows how to build a working approval flow in under 30 minutes using UT's M365 environment, starting from templates and building toward custom conditions.
What you'll build
- A document approval flow triggered from SharePoint
- An automated email notification when requests are approved or rejected
- A multi-step flow with conditional escalation to a backup approver
- A Copilot-assisted flow description for documentation
