$tokenResponse = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "https://login.microsoftonline.com/$tenantId/oauth2/v2.0/token" -Method POST -Body $tokenBody
# Setting up the authorization headers
$authHeaders = @{
"Authorization" = "Bearer $($tokenResponse.access_token)"
"Content-type" = "application/json"
}
# Graph API BASE URI
$graphApiUri = "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0"
$uri = "$graphApiUri/users/{user-id or UPN to send the mail from}/sendMail"
$request = Invoke-RestMethod -Method POST -Uri $uri -Headers $authHeaders -Body $params
And our body will look like this in our logic app returning only the groups selected which we can continue to work off

{
"Action":"Approve",
"Approved_groups":"Group2,Group4",
"user":"John.Doe@contoso.com"
}
3. Who should be the new owner/approver?

Conclusion
Combine these use cases together with my last blog post: https://mynster9361.github.io/posts/ActionableMessages/
And you will be well on your way to improve some automation process that you launch to the end users in order to gather infomation and take action on the information gathered straight away instead of going through the collection process your self.
