Automate SharePoint 2016 Custom Form

Question

Hi all,&nbsp;I need to automate the approval of a HR related business process using SharePoint 2016 but without using Infopath (As i am used to do).The process consists of 4 levels of approval where approvers are dynamically assigned based on the submitting employee.Moreover, the form includes information that should be retrieved from custom SQL data tables; and on approval, other data should be saved to SQL data tables too.Any idea how this can be done using SharePoint 2016 with Power Apps/Flow? I used to complete the above using SharePoint 2013 and Infopath managed code.&nbsp;Many thanks,

Hi NewUser2020 ,yes you can user PowerApps with SharePoint 2016, obviously it must be reachable from the internet.There are also others requirements:Access to download and install the On-Premises data gateway on a server.Access to a SharePoint 2013 or 2016 environment.&nbsp;Already have a subscription set up with PowerApps and FlowHere you can find (quick goolge search) a really good article.https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/35244.sharepoint-gateway-powerapps-and-flow.aspx&nbsp;About SQL, I would put it on Azure, but you can put already on premises&nbsp;https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/PowerApps-Community-Blog/PowerApps-with-SQL-server-on-premises-Using-the-Gateway-Part-One/ba-p/18029&nbsp;&nbsp;Cheers,Federico&nbsp;
