Populating ‘Item Link’ In Approvals (Power Automate/MS Flow)

Hi Readers

This is a quick tip on how to generate a link to the item you want to be approved.

Scenario: Whenever a quote is created a approval request must be sent out with a link/URL of quote to be approved.

Problem: “Item Link” field only shows the GUID of the quote

There’s no URL field for selection so you select the Unique Identifier of the quote, thinking it might work.
Approval looks like this so you can’t go to the actual item from here.

Solution: Combine the URL of your model driven app (prefix) and record GUID (suffix)

Model driven app’s URL and unique identifier of quote/record. This works.
This is how your approval form looks, click on the link to check the actual approval item/record.

Hope it helps!
