Now that I have completed my series on building a modern solution with SharePoint, PowerApps and Flow I want to start building on that solution. The next enhancement I wanted to do was allow the capture comments from the approver in Microsoft Flow. So whether the approver approved or rejected the request I want to be able to capture the comments if they provided any. Because this is building on my previous solution you can see how that was built by clicking here.
Something that is used a lot in Microsoft Flow is the HTTP request. Whether you are calling a site’s REST endpoint or an Azure function, or in the case of today a SharePoint REST endpoint you need to be able to do something with the data returned. The steps to do that are very simple and only require a free tool called Fiddler. You can download Fiddler here (please note: I have nothing to do with Telerik, it’s just a nice tool I use often). Go ahead and download the tool and we’ll move forward with the steps parsing JSON in Microsoft Flow
