Inspiration
To create Expanse approval system in Quick base and integrate it with Microsoft technologies like MS Flow and MS Teams to get approval.
What it does
- Requester will create new Expanse request from quick base with necessary details.
- Approver will get notification in MS Teams and outlook mail about all details that were entered by requester.
- Approver can approve/reject request without leaving MS Team or from mail itself.
- After approval/rejection of this request Requester will get notification for his request in MS Team and mail.
- Requester can check all of his requests as a Table and a pie chart in Home page of "Expanse Request" app in Quick Base.
How I built it
- Expanse Approval app is created in Quick base which consist 1 list .
- Fields, Formulas and Validation are created in this form.
- 1 webhook is attached with this list that will trigger MS Flow on creation of new item.
- This Flow will send notification to approver in Mail and in MS Teams.
- Approver can approver/reject request either from Mail of MS Team.
- Requester will get notification about approval/rejection of his request in Mail and in MS Team.
- Requester can check all of his requests in Home page of this app as a pie chart and as a table.
Challenges I ran into
- As I am new to quick base, need to understand concepts of quick base platform like App, Table, Quick Base api, webhook etc.
- I need to update record of quick base from flow. For that used user token and quick base api for that. I tried restful json api request from here but not able to update record using this. So, used xml based api request from here for that.
