Passing MS Form data to child flow?

[AbuMoosa]

Hello all beautiful people,

I am building an approval flow for our non profit organization, I have to pass almost 31 fields from our MS Form (when new response is submitted) to a child flow but due to 20 inputs limitation in child flow I am stuck. 

is there any workable alternative to this please? Please be advised as we are on non profit license we don't have access to any premium triggers in power automate.

Your help on this is highly appreciated.

Thanks and Regards

Hi @AbuMoosa,

Do you want to get more than 20 fields using a Manually trigger flow?

Could you please share a bit more about your scenario?

Actually, it is known that the Manually trigger has 20 inputs as limit.

If you want to overcome this, you could use the when new response is submitted trigger as well but you should notice that all the changes are allowed to happen at the same time. In other word, if the parent flow fires based on the response submission but you need to manually fire the child flow, this is not a good idea.

However, you could collect all the fields to another MS form and trigger the child flow based on the rigger "When a new response is submitted".

Check if the above could help you at some degree.

ok what I did is, as you recommended to use MS Forms to get all the inputs from the user (into an excel sheet) and then I read that data from that excel sheet in my child flow and used it in there, I had to add a delay just to make sure new line is added before flow starts to read from it.
