Approvals
Requests go to the right people, with reminders, escalation and a record of every decision.
Take the chasing out of approvals.
Dove365 builds Power Automate workflows that route requests in Teams, update the record and tell the right people, even against older systems with no connection.
One approval, end to end
Something happens, the details are checked, the right people approve, the work is done, everyone is told and the outcome is recorded. Every time, whether it is Monday morning or midnight.
Automation does not replace judgement. It removes the manual effort around it.

What gets automated
Most teams lose hours every week to work that follows the same steps every time. That is the work automation handles best.
Notifications
The right people hear in Teams or by email as soon as something needs them.
Document generation
Quotes, contracts and letters are produced from your data and filed in the right place.
Task management
Tasks are created, assigned and chased as work moves through each stage.
Customer updates
Timely, consistent updates go out at the right points in a customer's journey.
Data synchronisation
Information stays consistent across systems, so nobody works from conflicting records.
Scheduled reporting
Reports are compiled and sent on a schedule, so leadership has current figures.
Alerts
Deadlines, thresholds and exceptions are flagged early instead of discovered late.
Even where there is no connector
Plenty of businesses still run on a system that does not talk to anything else. We can automate it the way a person would, by clicking and typing, so it does not need a direct connection.
The request arrives in Teams, is approved there, and the older system is updated for you.

The questions that come up when a team is weighing its first automation.
Ask us something elseWill automation replace people's jobs?
No. We automate the repetitive steps around people's work, not the judgement within it. The aim is to give your team back the hours lost to admin.
Our main system is old and does not connect to anything.
That is common. We can run automation that operates your existing system the way a person would, clicking and typing, so it does not need an API.
Which tools can you connect to?
Microsoft 365, SharePoint, Teams and Dataverse, plus the wider tools you use, such as Xero, DocuSign and other services with a REST API. If a system can be connected, automation can usually span it.
What do we need in terms of licences?
Power Automate runs on Microsoft licences, and some automation, such as running an older system on a desktop, needs further ones. We confirm exactly which before you commit.
Where should we start?
With a process that is frequent, repetitive and frustrating, such as an approval, a report or a set of notifications. We help you pick the best first one, then build from there.
Which approval is stuck in someone's inbox?
