Power Apps complaint management that keeps every escalated complaint moving, confidential, and on record.

The Challenge

A Critical Complaints Process on Borrowed Time

The company’s executive complaints team handles the customer complaints that need the most care: issues escalated to senior leadership, often with regulatory and reputational weight. For years, that work ran on an on-premises SharePoint site built around a central InfoPath form, a large set of SharePoint Designer workflows, custom pages, and several third-party add-ins.

The process worked, but it had grown fragile. Workflows created complaint files, collected responses and signatures, sent reminders, shared files, and changed permissions behind the scenes. Some of that logic was hard to open, let alone document. Custom permission levels protected complaint confidentiality, but they made the site difficult to administer, and every add-in was one more dependency to maintain.

Time was also running out. InfoPath and the on-premises SharePoint platform were approaching the end of support, as described in what SharePoint end of life means for IT leaders. Staying put meant growing security and support risk, but moving meant rebuilding a process the team relied on every day, without losing open complaints or the confidentiality that regulators and customers expect.

The organization needed a modern, cloud-based complaints solution that kept the business rules it depended on, simplified administration, and could be adopted without disrupting complaints already in progress.

The Solution

A Modern Complaints Solution on Microsoft 365

IncWorx started with how the team actually handles complaints, not with the old forms. A lift-and-shift was never the goal. As our guide to rebuilding or redesigning InfoPath forms in Power Apps explains, most InfoPath forms need redesign rather than a one-for-one copy. Discovery reviewed every form behavior, workflow, custom page, and permission rule, then sorted each into keep, redesign, or retire. A design approval gate ensured stakeholders agreed on the blueprint before any build began.

Next, IncWorx moved the complaints site to SharePoint Online, preserving the complaint file structure, content types, and the shared configuration values that drive categories, products, and resolution codes. Security groups replaced custom permission levels wherever possible, so access is easier to manage while complaints stay confidential.

On top of that foundation, IncWorx built a Power Apps canvas app that replaces the InfoPath form and custom pages. Users now log complaints, assign numbers, pick from linked dropdowns, and track resolution in one place, with oversight, open task, and history views built in. Signature rules lock fields at the right moments, just as before.

Behind the app, Power Automate takes over the legacy workflow logic, an approach covered in depth in rebuilding SharePoint Designer logic in Power Automate. Flows create each complaint file, assign respondents, collect responses and signatures, send reminders, adjust permissions as a complaint moves forward, generate PDFs, and keep complaint data in sync for reporting.

To limit risk, the solution runs in separate development, test, and production environments with data loss prevention policies and a documented release process. Repeated test migrations validated content before a final cutover, and user acceptance testing confirmed the process end to end. Training, change communication, knowledge transfer, and a short stabilization period after go-live prepared the team to run the solution on its own.

The Results

A Supportable Platform for Sensitive Work

The company moved its complaints process off an unsupported platform while keeping the business rules and confidentiality the work depends on. Like the team behind this ad approval process modernized with Microsoft Power Platform, complaint handlers now have one clear place to work instead of a patchwork of forms and pages.

The organization achieved:

  • A supported, cloud-based platform in place of end-of-life InfoPath and on-premises SharePoint
  • One modern app for logging, tracking, and resolving complaints
  • Automated response and signature collection, with reminders that keep deadlines on track
  • Permissions that update automatically as each complaint moves forward, preserving confidentiality
  • Fewer third-party add-ins and less custom code to maintain
  • Consistent complaint data for oversight, history, and audit needs
  • A controlled cutover that kept open complaints moving with minimal disruption

With a modern foundation in place, the company now manages sensitive complaints with confidence and can extend the solution with new reports, automation, or AI capabilities as its needs grow.
