Microsoft Form pre compiled link QR code issue

Question

Hi all, first post here!

I'm building a Power Automate flow for my branches to provide them with a precompiled form link that includes the ID of their branches.

The flow works fine, and the URL uses the variable to set the precompiled question correctly when I use the provided link on a desktop device.

I'd like to have a QR code for colleagues using smartphone devices, but when I scan the QR code with my iPhone, I land on the form's homepage, losing the specific URL with the precompiled information.

Is there a way to bypass the "Start Now" button and make users land directly on the precompiled form?

Hi respected EliascoMP.

Thanks for your valuable feedback and sharing updates with us and I really appreciate your effort and your precious time doing. 

And I appreciate your kind words.

First please accept by apologize for confusion.

To skip the “Start Now” button, you can managed via access Microsoft Form in a pc browser and click on Style>and chose the first design(click on one of the solid colours) which doesn't include the 'start now' page.

Your understanding and patience will be highly appreciated. I hope that you are keeping safe and well!

Sincerely,

Waqas Muhammad

Thank you, Wakas.

Actually, I do not have an issue with anything related to Power Automate. The problem I'm trying to solve is using the precompiled link for a Microsoft Form to generate a working QR code.

Is it possible to skip the "start now" page in Microsoft Forms? This page seems to be causing the redirection issue on smartphones, nullifying my custom URL.

Dear respected EliascoMP.

Good day! Thank you for posting to Microsoft Community. We are happy to help you.

I’m sorry you’re having a problem and for the situation you encountered, we deeply understand the inconvenience caused and apologize for it.

As per your description, it seems that scanning the code on a smartphone device takes you to the form homepage instead of directly to the precompiled form with the specific URL.

As built-in Microsoft Form generate a collect response QR code for specific form and since you are Power automate flow and to avoid any incorrect information from our side, we’ll suggest you post in Microsoft Power Automate Community for expert assistance. This is a specific channel related with Power Automate.

The reason I ask you to post a new thread is that in Answers forum, we have limited resources and very little knowledge about Power Automate and in Microsoft Power Automate Community, you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction.

I'm sorry and I apologize for that.

Appreciate your patience and understanding and thank you for your time and cooperation.

Sincerely,

Waqas Muhammad
