Branches Demo

In this Lab

In this lab, we will trigger parallel approvals when a SharePoint list item is created.

• Learning objectives- Branches in Cloud Flow
• Duration - 20 minutes
• Scenario - Trigger parallel approvals when a an item is created in a SharePoint list.
• Prerequisites - Each student must have a dedicated custom SharePoint list named Expenses-your-name. This list was already created during the lab.

Task 1

a. Create an automated cloud flow with a trigger for When an item is created

The trigger will look like this:

b. Now, we need to create parallel approvals. Branches can help us achieve this. To create a branch, we need to create an action first:

• Approval Type: Everyone must approve
• Title: Title from dynamic content
• Assigned to: your-email

c. Add a parallel branch by clicking on the + button after the trigger > Add a parallel branch

d. Add another approval with the below parameters:

• Approval Type: Everyone must approve
• Title: Title from dynamic content
• Assigned to: your-email

By now, your flow will look like this:

e. Save your flow.

Task 2 - Exercise

We want to send an email to the person creating the purchase request if both the approvers (in this case, yourself) Approve the request.
