Format Power Automated Email to Look Like MS Form

DHall-1 · ‎08-15-2020

My company has started using MS Forms and Power Automated to send email after a form is completed. The email is sending fine but it just plain text questions & answers. Is it possible to format the Power Automate email to look just like the MS Form after it has been submitted staff?

@DHall-1 Yes indeed, you can Format Automated Email to Look Like MS-Forms, but you will need to create the Form layout in HTML.

In the Compose action. I have created the HTML.
