QuestionQ2

Build business application logic and automation

A company uses a business process flow to manage case resolution.

The business process flow must meet these requirements:

  • Users must complete required data before moving to the next stage.
  • Before a stage is exited, a background process must create an approval, assign it to the record owner, and send the approval through Microsoft Teams.
  • Mandatory data-entry enforcement must be included only in the business process flow itself.

You need to enforce the stage-progression requirements. You may use each configuration once, more than once, or not at all.

Drag & Drop
Add a classic workflow step.
Set the data step as Required.
Set columns as business required.
Add a Power Automate cloud flow.
Require data completion before progressing.
Send an approval.
Explanation

A required business process flow step provides stage gating: users cannot proceed until the corresponding data is entered. This confines the mandatory-entry rule to the business process flow, unlike a business-required column, which is enforced at the column level. A Power Automate cloud flow can run the background approval process, including creating and assigning the approval and using Microsoft Teams for its delivery.
