How to do more with forms in Power Automate

  • Article

Here are some less-common things you can do with a form in your automated flows:

  • Change the format of dates in a flow
  • Change the response submission time zone
  • Add a group form to a flow
  • Send an email based on a conditional form response
  • Convert an attachment on a form to PDF or other file type
  • Upload form responses to a Power BI dataset
  • Create a lead from a form response

Change the format of dates in a flow

Learn how to customize date formats in a flow.

Change the response submission time zone

By default, the form shows the response submission timestamp in the UTC time zone. Learn how to convert the time zone.

Add a group form to a flow

If a group is the owner of the form you want to add to a flow, Power Automate doesn't list it in the Form Id.

Go to the form. Copy the Form Id from the URL of the form, and then add it as a custom value.

Send an email based on a conditional form response

When you use a form in a flow, you can add a condition that's based on how a user responds to a question in the form. The condition can test a text value or a numerical value. The condition creates two parallel branches, If yes and If no, to which you can add actions.

For example, you can use a condition to email details about a specific event or a general calendar of events, depending on how customers respond on an interest form. To learn more, follow the step-by-step instructions in Create an automated workflow for Microsoft Forms.
