Hi Microsoft Community,

I'm trying to automate documentation using Microsoft Forms + Power Automate + OneNote in my organization. Here's what I'm doing:

Every time someone submits a form, I want:

Power Automate to trigger on submission
It gets the form details
Based on a "Problem Category" field, it routes the log to a matching OneNote section
Creates a new page in that section
The page title should be the "Problem" field from the form
The content should include Problem, Solution, and Submitter details

What I’ve Done:

Set up a Microsoft Form with fields like:
Problem
Solution
Your Name
In Power Automate:
Trigger: “When a new response is submitted”
Action: “Get response details”
Switch block routes each response based on the selected category
In each case: “Create page in a section” (OneNote for Business)
HTML used in the “Page Content” field:

<h1>📝 Tech Issue Log</h1>
<p><strong>🛑 Problem:</strong> @{outputs('Get_response_details')?['body/Problem']}</p>
<p><strong>✅ Solution:</strong> @{outputs('Get_response_details')?['body/Solution']}</p>
<p><strong>🙋 Submitted By:</strong> @{outputs('Get_response_details')?['body/YourNameOrEmail']}</p>

The OneNote page is created, and the content renders correctly

BUT the page title shows as “Untitled”
I expected the <h1> tag to define the title in the OneNote sidebar — but it's not working.

How can I ensure OneNote correctly uses the <h1> tag as the page title when creating pages via Power Automate

hello @AA-01081908-0

I had to use an additional OneNote action to add the title after the OneNote page is created. A delay is needed to wait for 365 to catch up. 20 seconds was enough for me.

See screen shots for set up.

Hope that helps!

Hello @Cgangweg01, Thank you very much for your suggestion. It worked perfectly, I really appreciate it. Just had one question, since I can not upload images/ss through MS Form what I did is asking the user to upload the file. Now is there a way to render that image in the OneNote page? I checked and saw the image gets stored at our shared onedrive.

Hi @AA-01081908-0 -

Not sure if you meant to say that you cannot use MS Forms with an upload file question. But I was able to do that and add the image file from the form submission as an attachment to email as an example, see screen shot of flow. I have not figured out how to insert an image within an existing OneNote page yet. That might require MS graph API connectors. Investigating that.
