Using Microsoft Forms and Power Automate to Send an Email with Form Information to a Supervisor

In this video, we demonstrate how to create a request form in Microsoft Forms, use that to trigger a Power Automate flow, grab the supervisor’s email from the Form, and send an email to the supervisor with the rest of the form information. The idea is that the supervisor would then forward the email along with a justification to the Help Desk.

Hello, I am trying to follow and right after you input the long string of the form and then go on to step 2 (7:47 into the video) and typing in forms, my power automate is different. I have Parameters with settings, code view and About. Can you assist on where I do the next steps? Thanks!

[@jeffrhodes]

You might be in the new Designer. In that case, search for Forms and then Show All to get the list of actions. Show Response Details should be available. Then go to Enter Custom Value and paste in the Form ID. Hope this helps.

Hello Jeff, I am new to PowerAutomate and am trying to educate myself. When I try to follow this tutorial, and attempt to get response details the system automatically adds in an 'apply to each' action and will only allow me to add a 'List of response notifications Response Id' not a plain 'Response Id' like you showed in your video.
I've been trying to find solutions to the problem, and though others seem to have encountered it, I haven't been able to find a solution that works on my system. Any help you have, or resources you could recommend would be greatly appreciated!

[@jeffrhodes]

Thanks for the note. Power Automate typically puts in an 'apply to each' loop if it thinks the result of the previous step could have more than one value. I would try just moving the 'Send an email' option outside the 'apply to each' loop if possible. If not, keeping it there shouldn't cause a problem if you indeed only have one value. Hope that helps a bit.

why does it show 'invalid parameters' after i create automated cloud flow and clicking on 'when a new response is submitted' im usually pretty tech saavy and this aint working for me. i feel defeated haha

[@jeffrhodes]

If you are connecting to a Group Form, you need to grab the FormID out of the address bar of the browser and then paste that in a custom value in both the "new response submitted" and "get response details" actions (7:30 - 8:30 in the video). Perhaps that is the issue?

@@jeffrhodes I did that already 👍 I'll ask my co worker he just was on holidays last week. Thanks
