Introduction to Microsoft Power Automate and Forms
Microsoft Power Automate allows users to create automated workflows that can perform tasks automatically when triggered by specific events. In this guide, we will explore how to set up a flow that activates when a new response is submitted through Microsoft Forms.
Setting Up the Environment
Before creating the flow, ensure that you have set up your Microsoft Form, created a Team in Microsoft Teams, and added a Planner tab in the relevant channel. This setup is crucial for the automation to function correctly.
Creating the Flow
To create a flow, navigate to the Power Automate homepage. The simplest method to integrate a form is by using a template. Search the Template Gallery for Microsoft Forms. If you find a template that closely matches your needs, you can customize it after selecting it. For this scenario, we will choose the template that triggers actions when a new response is submitted from Microsoft Forms.
Connecting Services and Filling Mandatory Fields
After selecting the template, click 'Continue' to connect to your services. Fill in all mandatory fields, which are marked with a red asterisk. The title of the form serves as the form ID; in this case, it is 'Satisfaction Survey.' You can either enter a custom item or use the search bar to find the form ID. Specify the team and channel where the message will be posted, then click 'Create.'
Editing Workflow Details
In the Details section, click 'Edit' to name your workflow and then press 'Save.' The new name will appear in the workflow overview. Each step in the flow consists of a trigger and a set of actions, which can be added, edited, or removed as needed.
Defining Triggers and Actions
The trigger for our flow is 'When a new response is submitted from Satisfaction Survey in Microsoft Forms.' The first action is to get response details, which requires a unique identifier known as the response ID. The next action is to create a task in Planner, where you can personalize the task title. If a field does not have a dropdown menu, you can type text and combine it with dynamic content.
Using Dynamic Content
Dynamic content refers to data generated from a trigger or action, allowing users to select fields that reference previous steps. To add dynamic content, click the designated area and use the search bar or scroll through the options. Ensure to add a space between the first name and last name when combining them.
Finalizing the Flow
Designate the bucket ID and set the start date, which can be left blank if not needed. Obtain the responder's email and set the final action to post a message in a channel. Choose 'Post as Flowbot' and specify the team and channel, including a dynamic title in the message. After completing all steps, terminate the flow with the default action to indicate successful execution.
Testing the Workflow
Once the workflow is complete, run a manual test by submitting the survey. A success message will confirm that the flow ran successfully. Verify the results in Microsoft Teams to see the posted message and locate the task in Planner.
Conclusion
You have now learned how to create an automated workflow using Microsoft Forms and Power Automate. This process enhances productivity by automating tasks based on form submissions, allowing for efficient management of responses and related actions.

00:00:00

With Microsoft Power Automate,

00:00:01

you can create a flow for Microsoft Forms

00:00:05

that performs one or more tasks automatically

00:00:08

after it's triggered by an event.

00:00:10

Let's find out how to use Flows with

00:00:13

Microsoft Forms in the following scenario,

00:00:16

we want to create an automation

00:00:18

that is triggered by a new response

00:00:21

submitted from Microsoft Forms.

00:00:22

After creating the form in Microsoft Forms,

00:00:26

setting up the Team and

00:00:28

Channels in Microsoft Teams.

00:00:30

And adding the Planner tab in this channel.

00:00:33

Let's go back to Power Automate

00:00:35

homepage to create our flow.

00:00:37

The easiest way to add a form to

00:00:39

Flow is to start with a template.

00:00:42

First, search the Template

00:00:44

Gallery for Microsoft Forms.

00:00:47

Remember,

00:00:47

if you find a template that's similar

00:00:49

to what you want to do but is not

00:00:52

exactly right for your scenario,

00:00:53

you can still create a flow from

00:00:56

the template and then customize it.

00:00:58

Let's pick this one.

00:00:59

When a new response is submitted

00:01:01

from Microsoft Forms,

00:01:03

Power Automate creates a task in Planner

00:01:05

and post a message in Microsoft Teams.

00:01:08

Here by pressing continue,

00:01:10

we connect to our services.

00:01:13

Now let's fill in at least all mandatory

00:01:16

fields marked with a red asterisk.

00:01:19

Keep in mind that the title

00:01:21

of the form is the form ID.

00:01:23

In this case it is Satisfaction Survey.

00:01:26

You can either add a custom

00:01:28

item or simply use the search

00:01:30

bar to locate the form ID.

00:01:37

Let's specify the name of the team and

00:01:40

channel in which to post our message,

00:01:42

then press Create.

00:01:44

Under the Details section,

00:01:47

let's click on Edit to give our

00:01:51

workflow a name, then press Save.

00:01:54

The new name appears right here.

00:01:59

Each step contains a trigger

00:02:01

with a set of actions.

00:02:03

Note that you can add more steps.

00:02:06

You can also add, edit,

00:02:08

and remove triggers and actions.

00:02:10

You can even copy and paste

00:02:12

actions in the same flow or across

00:02:15

flows to speed up the process.

00:02:17

When a new response is submitted

00:02:20

from Satisfaction Survey in

00:02:22

Microsoft Forms is our trigger,

00:02:24

our first action is.

00:02:26

To get response details in Microsoft

00:02:29

Forms and for that we need a unique

00:02:33

identifier of the response which is

00:02:36

represented here by response ID.

00:02:38

Then our next action is to

00:02:41

create a task in Planner.

00:02:43

We have already defined the plan ID.

00:02:45

Let's personalize the title.

00:02:47

If the field does not

00:02:48

contain a drop down menu,

00:02:50

you can type in a text and combine

00:02:52

it with dynamic contents in

00:02:55

Power Automate Dynamic Content.

00:02:57

Refers to data produced from

00:02:59

a trigger or action.

00:03:00

Basically,

00:03:01

it lets the user select the fields

00:03:04

that reference the previous steps.

00:03:06

To add dynamic content,

00:03:07

click here and under the Dynamic

00:03:10

Content tab you can either use

00:03:12

the search bar or scroll up

00:03:14

or down to view your options.

00:03:16

Make sure to add a space between

00:03:18

first name and last name.

00:03:20

Next, let's designate the bucket ID,

00:03:24

then the start date.

00:03:26

Submission time is appropriate.

00:03:28

This field is optional.

00:03:30

Let's leave it blank here.

00:03:32

Let's obtain the responder's e-mail.

00:03:37

As a last action, we want to

00:03:39

post our message in a channel.

00:03:41

Post as Flowbot is one of several options,

00:03:45

let's leave it as is.

00:03:46

We do want it to post in a channel

00:03:49

under a team called Winning

00:03:51

Project and it's channel named.

00:03:53

Client surveys.

00:03:54

Then let's include a message with a

00:03:57

dynamic title, adjust the format.

00:04:01

Let's also personalize the link

00:04:08

and add a dynamic title.

00:04:11

All done at the end of each flow

00:04:14

terminate the default action.

00:04:16

It terminates the execution of a Logic

00:04:19

App run with the succeeded status.

00:04:21

When done, press save.

00:04:25

Now that we've finished our workflow,

00:04:27

let's run a manual test.

00:04:31

Let

00:04:37

me submit the survey.

00:04:41

Your flow ran successfully.

00:04:43

Message appears.

00:04:44

Let's verify this in Teams.

00:04:47

We can find our message here and

00:04:50

locate our task in Planner here.

00:04:55

If you need to go back to your workflow,

00:04:57

this is where you can find and

00:05:00

edit your customized flow.

00:05:02

Now you know how to create an

00:05:05

automated workflow Microsoft

00:05:06

Forms with Power Automate.

00:00:00

Com o Microsoft Power Automate,

00:00:01

você pode criar um fluxo para o Microsoft Forms

00:00:05

que executa uma ou mais tarefas automaticamente

00:00:08

depois de ser acionado por um evento.

00:00:10

Vamos descobrir como usar o Flows com

00:00:13

Microsoft Forms no seguinte cenário,

00:00:16

queremos criar uma automação

00:00:18

que é desencadeada por uma nova resposta

00:00:21

enviado do Microsoft Forms.

00:00:22

Depois de criar o formulário no Microsoft Forms,

00:00:26

criação da Equipa e

00:00:28

Canais no Microsoft Teams.

00:00:30

E adicionando a guia Planner neste canal.

00:00:33

Vamos voltar ao Power Automate

00:00:35

homepage para criar o nosso fluxo.

00:00:37

A maneira mais fácil de adicionar um formulário a

00:00:39

Fluxo é começar com um modelo.

00:00:42

Primeiro, pesquise o modelo

00:00:44

Galeria para Microsoft Forms.

00:00:47

Lembre-se,

00:00:47

se você encontrar um modelo semelhante

00:00:49

ao que você quer fazer, mas não é

00:00:52

exatamente certo para o seu cenário,

00:00:53

você ainda pode criar um fluxo de

00:00:56

o modelo e, em seguida, personalize-o.

00:00:58

Vamos escolher este.

00:00:59

Quando é enviada uma nova resposta

00:01:01

do Microsoft Forms,

00:01:03

O Power Automate cria uma tarefa no Planner

00:01:05

e publique uma mensagem no Microsoft Teams.

00:01:08

Aqui, pressionando continuar,

00:01:10

Ligamo-nos aos nossos serviços.

00:01:13

Agora vamos preencher pelo menos todos os obrigatórios

00:01:16

campos marcados com um asterisco vermelho.

00:01:19

Tenha em mente que o título

00:01:21

do formulário é o ID do formulário.

00:01:23

Neste caso é a Pesquisa de Satisfação.

00:01:26

Você pode adicionar um personalizado

00:01:28

ou simplesmente use a pesquisa

00:01:30

para localizar o ID do formulário.

00:01:37

Vamos especificar o nome da equipe e

00:01:40

canal no qual postar nossa mensagem,

00:01:42

em seguida, pressione Criar.

00:01:44

Na secção Detalhes,

00:01:47

vamos clicar em Editar para dar o nosso

00:01:51

fluxo de trabalho um nome e, em seguida, prima Guardar.

00:01:54

O novo nome aparece aqui.

00:01:59

Cada etapa contém um gatilho

00:02:01

com um conjunto de ações.

00:02:03

Observe que você pode adicionar mais etapas.

00:02:06

Você também pode adicionar, editar,

00:02:08

e remover gatilhos e ações.

00:02:10

Pode até copiar e colar

00:02:12
