MS Forms Form ID + Power Automate Flow

[LOlofsson]

Hi there,

I have created an MS Form which I've set up in Power Automate to send email notifications to multiple individuals when a new MS Form response is submitted. I can't find the form in the Power Automate Flow drop down menu, so I had to manually enter the ID.

However, I couldn't find the Form ID in my MS Form neither in the edit view or share view URL.... so I have tried using the Design ID or session ID... these don't work.  Can someone help me to suggest how I can find my Form ID so I can manually add the form to the Flow, or, suggest how I can find the form in the drop down menu?  Thanks!

@LOlofsson you can find the ID you need by

1. navigating to https://forms.office.com/ then
2. select your form
3. Look for the 'https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=' either in the address bar or click on collect response button and copy the long link. all the characters after the 'id=' is your form id that you can simply copy and paste into the connector.

Thanks @jatcube !  I had copied the URL (viewing as user would view it) everything after the ResponsePage.aspx?id=.  However, the Power Automate Flow still doesn't work - it is not picking up the form when I enter it manually....

It looks like it works ie. the status is marked as Succeeded when I test out the form and flow, but it the individual I am sending the tests to only receives the email, and not the MS Forms response... So, it still doesn't work - any other tips?  Could this be due to the fact that I had shared the MS Form with a group?

Hi @jatcube, if you can recreate the flow using the Power Automate template “Record form responses in SharePoint” - this should work with adding the Form ID as you’ve done so above. Let me know if this helps resolve your issue - thanks LT

Thanks for your response!  I don't think I can do this because the individuals who I want the form emailed to (once a response is submitted) are not part of the same group/team that I am, so they wouldn't have access to our SharePoint site.  Ideally, I'd like the responses shared via email to all individuals....

@LOlofsson you need to individually reference the answers from your form in the email. Use intellisense (dynamic content) to help you with that. It will have the title of each of your questions on the form.

Add it as a custom value to the Form Id field in your flow.

Is there any option to pass a value through the url to prepopulate an MS form? 

[jatcube]

@MeenaVinaykumar I suggest as a best practice to open a new topic rather than post a reply on an old one. But afaik forms has no such functionality.. you'd need a canvas app and use parameters or look for third party solutions. Hope this helps

Yes, this is needed in addition to the answer by @jatcube above

Hi, do you know why I am getting 'List of response notifications. Response Id' instead of the single Response Id? Automatically when using it, an apply to each is created but I need this step to be independent in order to extract all the dynamic content from the Form in variables. Thank you!

I have been trying to create this flow since a long time now. Can you please share your flow or a quick process on how to create a flow to auto send the responses to a mail id captured in the form response
