Power Automate PO Approval with Multi-Entity Policy

Overview

This integration connects Microsoft Power Platform with Corules's policy enforcement runtime. Your existing Microsoft Power Platform workflows call Corules's REST API (or MCP server) to enforce policy constraints before any business action completes.

All policy logic stays in Corules — your Microsoft Power Platform configuration only needs to call the endpoint and route based on the ALLOW / BLOCK / ESCALATE response.

Setup steps

1. 1

   Import Corules Custom Connector to Power Platform

2. 2

   Configure entity-specific parameters in Corules admin (AU thresholds: $10k/$50k/$100k, EU: €8k/€40k/€80k)

3. 3

   Add Corules 'Get Constraints' action to PO creation Flow to retrieve required approver level

4. 4

   Route the PO to the correct approver based on returned constraint (manager / director / executive)

5. 5

   On approval completion, call Corules 'Validate Decision' with approver identity for audit log
