# Configure Flows for Approvals

Certain EvergreenWorx applications have Flows which help connect the app with external services such as Teams, Outlook, and more. If you have installed EvergreenWorx Contracts or EvergreenWorx Expenses, follow these steps to create Connections and turn on these Flows.

First, navigate to [https://make.powerapps.com/](https://make.powerapps.com/) and select the environment of the EvergreenWorx application.

***Click***the **Dataverse** dropdown in the left menu, ***select* Connections**, and if Approvals, Dataverse, or Office 365 Outlook connections are not present, ***click***"**+New connection**".

Search for a connection, such as “Approvals”, in the top right search to narrow down the connections to choose from.

Add the connection, sign into your admin account if prompted, and ***click***"**Create**".

Search for “Microsoft Dataverse” and “Office 365 Outlook” & add each as needed until you have all three connections.

Next, ***select* Solutions** and ***click***the EvergreenWorx solution which requires the connections (such as: Contracts or Expenses).

This will open the solution editor. From here, ***select***"**Connection references**" in the side menu.

Clicking on a reference will open an edit dialog. Choose from your existing connections in the Connection field’s dropdown.

Repeat the previous step for the remaining Connection References.

Finally, ***navigate***back to the **Solutions** menu, ***select*****Flows** (above Solutions in the side tabs), and ***select*** each flow that the new app uses ***clicking***“**Turn on**” in the dropdown settings. Note that when a Flow is turned on, selecting it will then display “Turn off”.

With that, the apps have fully enabled Flows ready to go.
