Solved: Adding numbers to emails using Power Automate

Ruesy · ‎10-18-2023

Hello!

So, I have created a Microsoft form, and added it to power automate to automatically send a detailed email after a response has been submitted. That works perfectly fine!

My problem is when a response is submitted in Microsoft forms, it shows the respondent and attaches a number to the respondent (1, 2, 3, etc.). What I am trying to do is attach that same number to the email (using power automate) to keep track of the number of responses. So, let's say it was response 45, I want the email to state #45 and so on.

Is there a way to make this happen? Do I need to add another control before sending the email notification? Is there a specific expression I need to add? I have played with this for a couple of days now and have finally decided I need help, lol. Thank you in advance.

I think you can use the response id of the form and attach it to the email wherever you want to show the number. Hope this helps.

I'll move this to the correct forums for cloud flows. This place is for desktop flows only.

Thank you so much! I tried doing this plenty of times, but it didn't work. After you suggested it, it wasn't showing up in one place but would in the other and now it works perfectly. Thanks again!
