Extend Coupa Approvals into Microsoft Teams with Looply

Extend Coupa Approvals into Microsoft Teams with Looply

Coupa is one of the world’s leading platforms for Business Spend Management, helping organizations gain control and visibility over procurement, invoicing, expenses, supplier onboarding, and more. It’s a powerful system built around workflow-driven approvals—ensuring every transaction is compliant, auditable, and authorized.

But even with these capabilities, one challenge remains: getting approvals actioned quickly and easily by busy stakeholders.

Managers and approvers often find themselves toggling between Coupa, their email inbox, and other enterprise tools. That context-switching adds friction, causes delays, and can lead to bottlenecks in key business processes.

Now there’s a better way.

Approve Coupa Tasks in Microsoft Teams

With Looply, you can extend any Coupa approval process directly into Microsoft Teams.

That means purchase requisitions, supplier invoices, expense claims, and even custom approval workflows can now be delivered straight into Teams—right where your users are already working and collaborating.

Instead of relying on email notifications or expecting users to log in to the Coupa portal, approvals appear in real time as actionable cards in Teams. Users can view key details, click for more information, and make a decision—all without leaving the Teams interface.

Why this matters

Most organizations today are trying to do more with less. That means eliminating delays, reducing manual overhead, and improving compliance—all without introducing more complexity for users.

Looply helps deliver on that goal:

Accelerated approval cycles
Approvals reach decision-makers faster, and responses are quicker when they can act directly from Teams.

Better user experience
No need to train users in Coupa. The approval card contains everything they need—clearly formatted, mobile-friendly, and consistent.

Increased visibility and control
Teams-based approvals are tracked in Coupa’s workflow history, keeping your audit trail complete.

Flexible and scalable
Whether you’re using standard Coupa workflows or custom configurations, Looply can connect to your processes and deliver approvals in Teams.

A closer look: Invoice approval in Teams

To demonstrate this capability, we recorded a short video showing a Coupa supplier invoice approval performed entirely in Microsoft Teams. The process begins in Coupa, where a user creates and submits an invoice. The second-level approval is then surfaced in Teams, allowing the approver to view invoice details, make a decision, and keep the workflow moving.

This is just one example—Looply can support any approval process in Coupa. All logic remains in Coupa. Looply simply acts as the integration layer that surfaces the task to Teams and handles the response securely and reliably.

One Teams interface. Endless use cases.

By extending approvals into Microsoft Teams, organizations can streamline business spend processes without sacrificing control or compliance. And with Looply’s low-code configuration, you can deliver these experiences quickly—no custom development required.

Whether you're looking to modernize your invoice approvals, bring procurement requests into the flow of work, or make supplier onboarding faster and more collaborative, Looply provides the tools you need.
