Learn how to build a travel request and approval system in SharePoint and Power Automate — no code, no extra licences. Stop chasing travel approvals over email and spreadsheets...
In this tutorial I show you how to build a simple but powerful travel request and approval workflow using only the Microsoft 365 apps your organisation already has — Microsoft Forms, Lists, and Power Automate. No extra licences, no code.
This is built specifically for NGO, INGO and humanitarian teams who need lightweight, reliable internal tools without a big IT budget.
Here's what we build:
• A travel request form (Microsoft Forms) staff can fill in from any device
• A Microsoft List to capture and track every request in one place
• A Power Automate flow that notifies the approver instantly via Teams or email
• An automatic hand-off that sends the approved request to your admin focal point for booking
By the end you'll have an end-to-end process: request → approve → book, with a clear record at every step and no manual chasing.
