Converting a MS Form & flow to Power Automate.

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 423

I originally started working with Microsoft Forms  to create content which  was fairly limited ion what I could get out of it. Then I started using flows in Power automate to improve the functionality of the form etc and now I have been using Power Apps for a few months, and realise there is so much scope using an App.

 

I am looking to 'convert ' my current flows into Power Apps but have quite a few complex flows which I need to transfer or, if possible, link to Power Apps. A couple of the flows are shown in the screenshots below and I was wondering, to save me re doing all the code etc, would I be able to change the triggers to point to a form created in PowerApps?

 

The first flow updates a sharepoint list, then it will create a Task within the team planner based on the information submitted in the form. The second flow will create a new item on a SP list, using a unique legacy Project doce based on type & location, and create a new Teams.Sharepoint site. Then the library is organised into a set folder structure. It will email the people involved that a the Project folder has been created and will automatically give the recipients access to the sharepoint site, assigning site owners etc.

    You can remove the original trigger of your Flow and replace it with a PowerApps trigger. After this you will be able to start your flow from the App and pass your data to it as variables.

    @RogierE Thanks very much for pointing me in the right direction. I was assuming it would be straightforward, alas, I am stuck on the first step of adding the Power Apps trigger. I will have to get watching a few YouTube videos tobring myself up to speed.

    I don't know how can I help you out on this one. This is a good question.

    Yes, I think it would be just as easy to rewrite the flow etc within Power Apps from scratch or even still just leave the form in Forms.
