Building SharePoint Designer Workflows in Classic and displaying Outcomes in Modern PowerApps
I'm trying to learn if it's possible to building SharePoint Designer Workflows in Classic and displaying Outcomes in Modern PowerApps? I've been thinking there may be two ways to approach this:
- If SharePoint allows this directly - building out a workflow for a SPO List via SharePoint Designer and then enabling a PowerApp to display the outcomes. OR
- Do all the heavy lifting on the Classic side with Designer Workflows on a Classic List and then mirror that list somehow on the SPO side allowing me to display the results in a PowerApp.
Can anyone tell me if either of these approaches is possible, and if so, how?

- May I ask why you don't use Flow that is better prepared to work with PowerApps?
It may be that I don't know where to look, but, my impression is that Flow can't do some of the things that Designer Workflows can. For instance:
- In a Project Management scenario where there is a SharePoint List of projects including a status, I can't seem to find a Flow that will create a workflow task that can initiate an email to an approver when a specific document (based on metadata) is posted in a library and then as a result of that approval, update the status of the SharePoint List.
- Further, when a status changes, I want to be able to initiate a new workflow task based on that new status that includes an in email task completion.
- In the same project scenario above I can't find a Flow where when a project on the list reaches a "Complete" status that the status triggers a line-item archiving step.
