What is Using flows with Microsoft Forms

Microsoft Forms is an online tool for creating surveys and polls. It’s useful for gathering customer feedback, assessing employee satisfaction, and organizing team events. There are many instances where forms or polls created with Microsoft Forms could benefit from automation. For example, schools frequently use Microsoft Forms for student quizzes. A teacher could use a flow that notifies them when a student turns in a quiz. A real-estate organization might use Microsoft Forms for new clients to provide details about themselves and the types of properties they’re interested in. With a Power Automate flow, after a potential client completes the form, an email notification could be sent to an agent in their area. This ensures that the agent reaching out to the customer is local and ensures that the agent can engage with the customer as soon as possible.

Various templates are available to help flow creators build flows for different Microsoft Forms scenarios. These include initiating an approval process based on form submissions or tracking Microsoft Forms responses in Microsoft Excel.

In the image, we filtered the list to only display templates that work with Microsoft Forms. We were able to take it one step further and search for templates that work with Outlook. The list of templates shows only templates that include Microsoft Forms and Outlook.
