How to use the Approvals App in Microsoft Teams for eSignatures
In this video, we take a look at how to use the approvals app in Microsoft Teams for e-signature processes.
We highlights the inefficiencies of manual processes such as printing, signing, scanning, and sending back attachments, and emphasizes the benefits of using e-signature integrations like DocuSign within Teams to automate the process. Daniel demonstrates the steps involved in sending an approval request using DocuSign, including uploading an attachment, adding recipients, and preparing the document for signing.
In this video, I demonstrate how to use ChatGPT, a large language model, to help streamline business processes by automating the import of data from a CSV file into pre-existing SharePoint list.
We use the PnP framework and PowerShell commands to help facilitate this process.
We show how to interact with the ChatGPT UI and ask ChatGPT to write a script that imports values from a CSV file into a specific list called ChatGPT that has certain columns.

In this episode, I am joined by new MVP Ami Diamond and veteran MVP Norm Young. We discussed the abundance of options and environments available in Microsoft 365, such as Planner, Teams, and Lists. We acknowledged that while this can sometimes overwhelm users, proper training and adoption can simplify the experience. We also emphasized the importance of finding a balance between work and personal life to avoid burnout.
We highlighted the evolution of Microsoft 365, particularly SharePoint Online, Copilot and Microsoft Syntex, which empowers users to create and curate organizational assets, streamlining processes and increasing productivity.
We also explored the potential impact of technologies like Copilot in enhancing the adoption of the Power Platform, enabling user-friendly and consistent solutions.
Amidst our conversation, we stressed the significance of seeking help and prioritizing family and personal well-being. We also shared our personal passions outside of work, such as involvement in an orchestra and commitment to fitness activities.

Reflect - Keeping things all fresh and functional
The idea with this whole method of workflow management is not to let your brain become lax, but rather to enable it to be free to experience more elegant, productive, and creative activity.
In episode 1 we took a look at GTD at a high level, then dove into the first step of Capturing.
The second episode we took a look at Clarifying and Organising everything that we captured and now we come to the final 2 stages of GTD and getting us to "stress free productivity" the Reflect and Engage steps…
Some topics that we convered here were:
What do we look at and when ?
What is the order, is there a best practise ?
Updating your system - can you tell use how important this is and why ?
The weekly review - what is it all about and what activities are we doing ?
What is the right time and place for a weekly review ?
We then also outline these three priority frameworks for deciding actions:
What is the Four-Criteria Model for choosing actions in the moment?
The threefold model for evaluating daily work
The six level model for reviewing your own work
Hope it brings you some value
