This post continues my previous one and shows you how you can combine D365FO and MS-Flow workflows to send out and process MS Flow approval emails that allow the users responding to an approval request directly in the Email and view the invoice document as an email attachment.

The Big Question is Microsoft D365FO FLOWS are relate to de MS FLOW WORKFLOW OR IF IT IS INDEPENDENT

  Hi, I don’t think that MS Flow Workflows are independent and expect a much wider and deeper integration between the different MS products. Let’s keep an eye on that and see what the future brings. Best regards, Ludwig

Hi Ludwig,
Thanks for a wonderful tutorial.

I have some issues tho and I hope you could help me solve.

2 things:
1) MS FLow is not updating the header with the selected option.
2) what is the format for “formatDateTime”`expressions in the last step

Thanks.

  Hi Ludwig,
  I got it working after figuring out that “Invoice payment release date” cannot be blank.
  
  which brings me back to the second issue.
  Could you please share the format used in the expression “formatDateTime”`
  
  Thanks

    Hello Eric, I used the following expression in the date field: formatDateTime(utcnow(),’yyyy-MM-dd’). Best regards, Ludwig
