What approval task link can you send in Power Automate

Writing on the Let's Power Automate blog, Tom Riha stated that If you're using Power Automate flows to improve your approval processes, you probably want to also send some reminders.

However, Riha noted that there's no reminder functionality in the approvals app, so if you want to send reminders you'll need a separate flow. 

And a part of such flow should be not only the list of requests, but also some reference to the approval tasks. What options do you have? How can you navigate users to the approval tasks?

In his blog post, Riha wrote that the link in the approvals portal in Power Automate lets you navigate directly to a specific task. A second option is to send the user to the approvals app in Microsoft Teams. He stated that this application, which is part of Teams, will give you an overview of all the tasks, i.e., the tasks you've received, the tasks you've sent, their status, results, etc.

Power Pages DevTools extension

On his blog, Nick Doelman wrote that building Power Pages websites using server-side markup languages, such as Liquid, can sometimes be very time consuming to debug and test.
