Power Automate Multi-Stage Approval Workflows - Workshop

In every organization there are a number of scenarios which require an Approval process. It could be Contract approvals, PTO/Leave Approvals, Event approvals and many other business processes.

In this workshop we'll learn how to design and develop Multi-Stage Approval Workflows using Power Automate. The workflow will move back and forth b/w different stages and will also learn how to restart a workflow from a given stage. We'll learn how to include Dynamic Approvers in the workflow process.

We'll also learn how to design and develop Automated escalations and Automated reminders. We'll implement timeout features in the workflows to escalate it to the next approver in the process. We will learn how to log and retain workflow history beyond what Microsoft Power Automate offers out-of-box. We'll develop a button to kick off the workflow from a SharePoint library/list.

Keynote : Building What’s Next for Work

You’ve been using and building with AI. Now let’s talk about what’s actually possible at scale. In the opening keynote, Microsoft CVP Jason Moore takes a hands-on look at how business users, AI leaders and makers are rewriting the rules of work — improving personal productivity, transforming business systems, and orchestrating complex processes across people, applications, data, and agents. The Microsoft 365 community has always led in delivering value from productivity tools, and with AI now woven into every layer of the stack, what you can build and how fast you can build it has changed fundamentally. Live demos and real customer stories bring it all to life: how Microsoft 365 Copilot, Copilot Cowork, Power Platform, and Copilot Studio come together to put serious capability in the hands of makers at every level. And because none of it matters without trust, you’ll also see how governance keeps it all running at enterprise scale. If you’re building with AI and wondering how far it can go, this is where you find out.
