Be the first person to recommend this.
PowerApps Default Environment: Important things you must know I have found PowerApps Developers struggling big time after having crucial apps deployed to the default environment. Obviously it seems like a default production environment. Since there is minimal documentation on the PowerApps Default Environment, most of us do the mistake of using the default environment for production apps or business-critical apps. The documentation around the default environment is spread across different places in Microsoft documentation limbo. So, here is in a nutshell what’s default environment and why not to use it for production. What is the default environment? A d ...

Triggering a Child Flow to update Content Approval Status on a SharePoint List

By Dhruv Mathur posted Jul 06, 2020
Be the first person to recommend this.
While working on a project at work, I came across a very interesting issue with a Microsoft PowerApps and Power Automate.

In most instances this is fine, but what happens when you trigger an approval workflow, that needs to update the content approval status of a list item? It would mean everyone would need an elevated level of access to the SharePoint list. What  if that was not an option? What if you only ...
