Email body to Sharepoint List columns (html_to_text)

Hi,

We have a new website which uses a couple of WordPress Forms rather than MS Forms which is causing a bit of a problem.  Rather than replace the whole thing with an MS Form (which doesn't view correctly on a mobile from my experience) I was attempting to pull the form entries into a Sharepoint List. 

 

I have it set up so that if somebody fills the form in I will receive an email like this

 

PowerPlatformEmail.png

I have built a flow to convert the emails from html to text and then I watched a YouTube video that suggested using variables to create breakpoints between each question.  I've tried this with name but I'm not having much success.  I'm way out of my depth when it comes to understanding expressions.

 

I do understand that I should end up with a messagebody variable that I can drop into the name column of my Sharepoint list but I'm just not getting it to either stop before the Email or to start after "name".

Any help appreciated!

Hi Chris,

Had a look at your form, and worked out a method for you. My approach is completely different to what you are attempting though.

WPForms has the ability to provide multiple notifications, so in addition to the regular email notification I created another notification that looks like this:

wp-forms-notification.png

The code I used in the "Message" block was:

{
  "name": "{field_id="0"}",
  "email":"{field_id="1"}",
  "who":"{field_id="2"}",
  "where":"{field_id="8"}",
  "keepInContact":"{field_id="6"}"
}

The idea of having the JSON is so that we do not need lots of complex expressions to extract the form data at the Power Automate end. It's not quite as easy as it should be because WPForms still sends the email as HTML. So using the HTML to text action produces output like this:

{
"name": "Paul Murana",
"email":"paul@Accendo.co.uk",
"who":"Parent / Carer",
"where":"Dumfries and Galloway",
"keepInContact":"Yes, please - sign me up"

But it is pretty easy to clean up by searching for the final curly brace in the string. So the flow looks like this:

https://ibb.co/LxbD57H (for easier viewing)

wp-forms-json-process.png

Expressions used:

Find End of JSON

indexOf(outputs('Html_to_text')?['body'], '}')

Get the JSON String

substring(outputs('Html_to_text')?['body'], 0, add(outputs('Find_end_of_JSON'),1))

Once the JSON is captured it is passed into the Parse JSON step and then that exposes the individual fields for easy use in the remainder of the flow. Quite a neat solution if I don't mind saying so myself! 🤣

 

As you work for a charity, let me know if you get stuck and I will help you out. The elite version of WPForms certainly makes this process easier, but this is still easy to do.

I know I am not answering your actual question (and perhaps I should just do that). But what form system are you using in Wordpress (looks like WP-Form?). I've done integrations using both WP-Form and Gravity forms which instead of parsing the email use the HTTP connector instead. By using this method the form results are submitted as JSON, so you can get to the values directly. Makes life a bit easier.

 

Having said that, it would also be possible to parse your email above.

Hi Paulie, thanks for the response!  It is indeed WP-Form but that's as much as I understand your post!  

Something like this which I've pulled from a YouTube video?  I'm clueless how I'd use this step to work with the form results unfortunately.

Kinda like that:

https://wpforms.com/addons/webhooks-addon/

I think you have inspired me to make a WP-Forms -> Microsoft Power Automate video. My weekend plans are so much better now 🤣

Ah, I was getting excited about and had a follow up question straight away but when I went in to look I see that we're not on WP Forms Elite, think we're on the free version.  We don't have Zapier either hence me digging deeper into PowerAutomate than I'm familiar with.

If you're serious about creating such a video then I'd definitely like to see it!  More than happy to go over the finer points of my struggle should it help shape it.

My IT contractors said it'd take them a few hours to put together which I can't really justify at the moment as the form is only averaging a couple of submissions a day so it's easy enough to manually manage.  But I feel like I'm pretty close so would like to get it done for my own knowledge and sanity 😁


Please share your struggle, be good to get the feedback before building the video. Perhaps an even better idea is that you move up to WP-Forms Pro and we build the form together and make a video out of that. I'm licensed for up to 20 sites and have only used 3, so you could perhaps use one of my licenses (but they do have a sale on at the moment).

 

Anyway - for now. Just post the HTML content received in your flow from an example form submission (before you convert it to text). Should be relatively straightforward to extract the values. 

 

Perhaps an even better idea. If you export your WP-Form definition:

WP-Forms.png 

I can import it into my WP-Forms setup and then just try it out 😁

I can't see that in the WP Forms.  I work for quite a small charity so I'd have to make a case for paying for the WP Forms which I don't really have with the number's we're currently receiving.  Hoping it steps up and I can get the new features to play about with!

 

This is the html code that is fed into the html to text step.

In my first attempt at this I wasn't using the admin account and had the email forwarded on to me.  When I did that the text was that it gave me was laid out better with spaces between the field titles and the submitted content. 

Missed hitting reply there.  What is your YouTube channel?  Would imagine there's more things I could do with learning on there.

Got it, thanks.

 

This is the content of the JSON file but I've removed from the end another email that's automated and not part of this. The form is here on the site and we will be adapting it a little bit for instance the wording of the sign up opt in.  https://www.mindroom.org/resources/future-me-workbook/future-me-digital-form/

 

Thanks!

This is amazing Paulie, I can't believe you did this last night.  After a game of Tennis I'd need the weekend to recover before doing anything!  Especially in this weather!  

 

I'm just about there and you've even helped me understand a fair whack of what's going on but I have come stuck at the Parse JSON and what I enter in the Schema, how do I generate the sample?

 

Thank you again so much for this help, above and beyond even Resident Rockstar status.

Hi @mindroomchris 

Tennis was indoors, so wasn't very cold. Also I won 6-1,6-0 so it didn't take very long 🤣

Easiest thing to do for the Parse JSON step is just remove it completely. Run the flow and then copy the contents of the "Get the JSON string" step into your clipboard. Then add the parse JSON step and paste the contents of your clipboard into the generate sample function.

Sorry Paulie, I'm trying a few things but I think I'm going to need pushed over the line here.

How do I get the individual fields to appear as options from the parsed JSON?

Updates to Transitions in the Power Platform Communities

We're embarking on a journey to enhance your experience by transitioning to a new community platform. Our team has been diligently working to create a fresh community site, leveraging the very Dynamics 365 and Power Platform tools our community advocates for.  We started this journey with transitioning Copilot Studio forums and blogs in June. The move marks the beginning of a new chapter, and we're eager for you to be a part of it. The rest of the Power Platform product sites will be moving over this summer.   Stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to the launch. We can't wait to welcome you to our new community space, designed with you in mind. Let's connect, learn, and grow together.   Here's to new beginnings and endless possibilities!   If you have any questions, observations or concerns throughout this process please go to https://aka.ms/PPCommSupport.   To stay up to date on the latest details of this migration and other important Community updates subscribe to our News and Announcements forums: Copilot Studio, Power Apps, Power Automate, Power Pages
