Power Automate request approval for purchase quote seek the requestor's manager for approval

Posted on by MT-13090547-0 17
Hello,
 
How can I set up a Power Automate workflow for purchase quote approvals that automatically identifies the requestor's manager and sends a Teams notification for approval/rejection? Currently, the limitation is that the approvers must be manually entered in the "Assigned to" field. I'm looking for a way to use Business Central (User Setup table 91 or Approval User Setup 663 page) to retrieve the requestor's Approval ID and automate notifications. Additionally, can Active Directory be used as a simpler alternative for handling approver notifications, given that all users are part of Office 365 and Active Directory?
 
Thank you
Regards

    Hello,
     
    you can use Power Automate action to get user's manager from AD and read Manager that is defined as user manager on the Entra with action Get Manager (V2).
     
     
    Also, you can connect flow directly with a BC to User Setup or Approval User Setup tables with "HTTP" action with OData or create a custom connector to API Pages, because with the standard Power Automate function, you are not able to read data from these tables.
