Approvals and status · companies with purchases, expenses or leave requests by email

Approvals that live in email threads today, with visible status and nobody to chase.

“Can you approve this?” in a fourteen-message thread, a verbal ok in the corridor, and nobody who can later say who authorised what. In your Microsoft 365 that can be a form, a button in Teams and a record that doesn't get lost.

Sounds familiar if…

How I solve it

One single entry point

A form (Microsoft Forms or Power Apps) with just the right fields: what, how much, what for, who asks. No more blank emails.

Approval with a button

The approver gets the request in Teams or Outlook with Approve / Reject and a comment field. One tap, from the phone.

Rules and deputies

Amounts above a threshold go up one level; if someone doesn't answer in X days, the deputy is notified. Nobody gets chased.

A record that stays

Every decision is stored in a SharePoint list with who, when and what. The requester sees it without asking; admin exports it whenever they want.

Three questions

Do I need new licences?

Microsoft 365 Business Standard already includes Power Automate, SharePoint and Teams. If your case needs premium Power Apps or extra capacity, we verify it in the Scan before promising anything.

Does it replace my ERP or CRM?

No. I automate what happens around it: what arrives by email, Excel and WhatsApp before reaching the system, and what leaves it by hand.

How long does it take?

A Sprint is weeks, not months, with a date in the proposal. We start with the scoped flow; the rest comes later.

Gerardo Gutiérrez Palenzuela · Technical lead

I automate inside the Microsoft 365 your company already pays for, from Tenerife. The flows stay in your account, documented, with no lock-in.

How many things get approved by email each month in your company?

With that number and how many people approve, I'll tell you in 30 minutes whether it's worth automating. If not, I'll say so too.
