I am working on a Flow which uses trigger "when a new response is submitted" for an O365 Form. A colleague has created a new Form to link to it and shared with me but it does not appear on the drop down list to select to add. Is there a way to add manually and if so what do you input?
Otherwise the only way around it I can see is for me to save as the Form and then link from there. I would expect if its shared with me for it to appear on the drop down as if I had created it so a little clunky.
Solved! Go to Solution.
By O365 Form I assume you mean a form in Microsoft Forms? If so and it's been shared with you it's a group form and although you can't select a group form from the dropdown you can enter it as a custom value.
Get the url for the Form and in the trigger in Flow paste just the characters AFTER the id= as a custom value.
So if for example your form response url is..
https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=g63aHu-yPUiB8SxIaC9A7B4fqWJxhk9EprbnRFYHGoVUME41...
..you paste the following in as a custom value both in the "When a new response is submitted" AND in the "Get response details" action.
g63aHu-yPUiB8SxIaC9A7B4fqWJxhk9EprbnRFYHGoVUME41R1FRMURSREpJNUpVQVlMRDY1SDdTNSQlQCN0PWcu
Then you carry on with the Flow as normal.

To say the current behaiour is a little clunky is putting it mildly. I don't see why a "Shared with me" option exists at all when it seems impossible to share forms created in MS Forms, with individual users or groups. I understand items created in that manner can still be shared, but not specifically with "me". Perhaps MS Forms created in some other way appear under "Shared with me", if so my colleagues clearly don't want to share with me as I've never seen anything in my list. 😐
I realize this is an old post, but I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU to Rob Elliott for is response!!!!! You saved my butt, dude.
Brilliant, thank you!
This didn't work for me (4/5/21) noting the Flow could not recognize the Form from the Form link pasted into the Flow ID denotes the "Form ID requested is invalid" note in pink.
It didn't work for you because you pasted in the whole url which is incorrect. You must only paste in the form ID which is the part AFTER ID=
You can see examples of it earlier in the thread.

@RobElliott that was it! Thanks for clarifying its not the entire URL. I missed that in your original response, thinking it was instruction for cut/paste the entire URL in the Form ID field for the trigger.
@RobElliott appreciate your feedback to others above. When I'm using a form that's shared with me, how would I get certain fields to populate in the create task? For instance in mine, if I wanted the title to be what is known in the form first/last name, I'm not seeing that option right now. Is that possible?
This is what I have now:
This is what I'm trying to get:
Try using the "Response ID" in the "Get response details" action directly after the "When a new response is submitted".
@cymorg1 I'm unable to get the response id like you you have picture in your screenshot. Any tips? Does that mean I copied my link wrong?
@dtshepherd04 The trigger for my flow was "When a new response is submitted". If you don't have that as your trigger you won't be able to get the "Response ID".
That makes sense! Thank you!
Thanks Rob.. this worked so far and I triggered notifications. However I don't see any dynamic content. Is there a way to include that as well?
I did not - forget that step b/c I was so happy to get this part working :). Works now.
Thanks for this post - very cool!
Question: does the list need to have all the questions as columns? It worked, but no data showed up in the list. Of course, there's only one column there now (Title). The form I am capturing has 36 unique questions. Assuming I need to create 36 cols ?
thanks in advance...
You need to have one column for each question in the form. Then in your create item action add the response from each question into the appropriate column.

Got it. Thank you for the prompt reply... time to get busy creating columns! 😊
I am having the same trouble as above, but when I insert the ID, it doesn't seem to do anything, and the fields don't pull from my should-be-linked Form.

The Reading Dynamics 365 and Power Platform User Group is a community-driven initiative that started in September 2022. It has quickly earned recognition for its enthusiastic leadership and resilience in the face of challenges. With a focus on promoting learning and networking among professionals in the Dynamics 365 and Power Platform ecosystem, the group has grown steadily and gained a reputation for its commitment to its members! The group, which had its inaugural event in January 2023 at the Microsoft UK Headquarters in Reading, has since organized three successful gatherings, including a recent social lunch. They maintain a regular schedule of four events per year, each attended by an average of 20-25 enthusiastic participants who enjoy engaging talks and, of course, pizza. The Reading User Group's presence is primarily spread through LinkedIn and Meetup, with the support of the wider community. This thriving community is managed by a dedicated team consisting of Fraser Dear, Tim Leung, and Andrew Bibby, who serves as the main point of contact for the UK Dynamics 365 and Power Platform User Groups. Andrew Bibby, an active figure in the Dynamics 365 and Power Platform community, nominated this group due to his admiration for the Reading UK User Group's efforts. He emphasized their remarkable enthusiasm and success in running the group, noting that they navigated challenges such as finding venues with resilience and smiles on their faces. Despite being a relatively new group with 20-30 members, they have managed to achieve high attendance at their meetings. The group's journey began when Fraser Dear moved to the Reading area and realized the absence of a user group catering to professionals in the Dynamics 365 and Power Platform space. He reached out to Andrew, who provided valuable guidance and support, allowing the Reading User Group to officially join the UK Dynamics 365 and Power Platform User Groups community. One of the group's notable achievements was overcoming the challenge of finding a suitable venue. Initially, their "home" was the Microsoft UK HQ in Reading. However, due to office closures, they had to seek a new location with limited time. Fortunately, a connection with Stephanie Stacey from Microsoft led them to Reading College and its Institute of Technology. The college generously offered them event space and support, forging a mutually beneficial partnership where the group promotes the Institute and encourages its members to support the next generation of IT professionals. With the dedication of its leadership team, the Reading Dynamics 365 and Power Platform User Group is poised to continue growing and thriving! Their story exemplifies the power of community-driven initiatives and the positive impact they can have on professional development and networking in the tech industry. As they move forward with their upcoming events and collaborations with Reading College, the group is likely to remain a valuable resource for professionals in the Reading area and beyond.
