Hi,

as far as I know (but i might be wrong on that) is that there is currently no direct Graph API for the Microsoft Approvals App. However, Power Automate has a built in flow item to initiate an approval workflow. What you could do is to create a custom connector for your OutSystems Application that triggers a Power Automate flow which in turn initiates an approval workflow. In the same flow (persistent) or in another flow you would handle the actual decision and again use the custom connector to update data in your OutSystems application. To get an idea on how to integrate OutSystems with Power Automate you can read my article here https://itnext.io/build-your-next-outsystems-app-microsoft-power-enabled-221d14dea15c

Hello,

Have you checked the Teams Connector from the Forge? Maybe it has what you need to implement this.

Hello @Aurelio Junior, @Dileep Verma 

In this forge component there is no Approval API , we can send only message through this component. Suggest me if you know any other component for Approval/Reject Process.

Regards,

Priyanka
