Beyond “Wait for an Approval”: End-to-End Approvals with Power Apps & Dataverse

In this session we will explore an advanced Power Platform approach to approval management that combines Power Automate, Dataverse, and Power Apps into a seamless business process. Instead of relying on long-running “wait for approval” actions, approvals are treated as Dataverse-driven events that can be responded to directly within Power Apps and automatically processed when completed. I will should you how to: Enable approvers to respond directly from Custom Pages , Canvas Apps or maybe even a Power Apps Code App with richer user experiences and business validation; Trigger downstream automations when approvals are completed, rejected, or cancelled using Dataverse events; Surface approval outcomes, comments, and approver details back into model-driven app processes for improved visibility and governance. The result is a more scalable, maintainable, and user-friendly approval architecture that keeps approvals fully integrated within the broader Power Platform ecosystem.
