A request hits your desk. It needs approval before the workflow moves forward. Instead of switching apps, hunting through portals, or losing time in email chains, the approval comes to you—right inside Microsoft Teams. This is the promise of Microsoft Entra Workflow Approvals embedded directly in your collaboration environment.
Microsoft Entra now supports workflow approvals that integrate with Teams. This means identity governance processes—like access requests, role assignments, and periodic reviews—can be completed without leaving your primary workspace. The integration uses adaptive cards in Teams chat to display approval details, actions, and context. You see the request. You click Approve or Deny. The process updates instantly in Entra.
By running approvals within Teams, execution speed increases and compliance improves. Engineers and managers face fewer interruptions in their flow. Audit logs in Entra capture every decision for security and regulatory checks. This is critical for workflows involving privileged roles or sensitive data. With Teams as the front end, you get real-time notifications when new approval tasks arrive, even on mobile.
