Tool Retirement Approval Workflow
Project Summary
This Power Automate flow demonstrates an approval process for tool retirement requests in a Dataverse-based Asset Management system. When a new repair transaction is created with a retirement transaction type, the flow retrieves the related tool details and sends an approval request for review.
Approval Process
The flow starts from a Dataverse trigger, retrieves the related Tool record, and sends a retirement approval request. Once the approver responds, a condition checks the approval outcome and sends a Teams notification to the requestor with either an approval or denial message.
Business Value
This approval pattern helps prevent important asset lifecycle decisions from happening without review. In a production scenario, this same structure could be expanded to update the tool lifecycle status, notify operations, or create an audit trail for retired assets.
Skills Demonstrated
Dataverse triggers, trigger conditions, approval actions, related record retrieval, conditional branching, Teams notifications, process control, and asset management workflow design.
