Scenario: User set up a Power Automate flow 100% correctly, standard:

  • When a new form is submitted
  • Get Form Details
  • Do Stuff

However, when it came to testing the MS Forms submission was not triggering and all form submissions weren’t being triggered. Very annoying.

Did the standard:

  • Log in and log out
  • Turn flow off and on
  • Re-point the form Ids to a different form, save, switch back, save

Nothing.

Solution:

  1. Open the MS Form directly
  2. Copy the form ID (All the text after ‘id=’)
  3. Open Power Automate and edit the trigger and first action:
    1. Where you specify the form name, click “enter custom value”
    2. Paste the form id into the custom value
  4. Test and save.

Magic. Power Automate is weird sometimes.
