Summary

In this chapter, you learned about one of the most popular and useful flow capabilities available in Power Automate the approval flow. Approval flows frequently utilize the CDS to store state information. Approval flows can be used for simple tasks such as vacation requests or expense forms, and can also be integrated into more complex tasks such as document publishing and content automation. Finally, you learned how to create an approval flow, trigger the approval, and respond to it as an approver.

In the next chapter, we'll begin using Power Automate to interact with Microsoft Forms.
