Power Automate - Using Flows

When Microsoft Form Response is Edited

Posted on 26 Jul 2023 13:50:31 by 10

I created a power automate flow to send the responses from a Microsoft Form to a Sharepoint list. That works perfectly.

My issue is: When a user goes back to edit their response in the form (add new info or change something), I need a trigger that would modify the result in the Sharepoint list. I only see a trigger called, "When a new response is submitted". What I would need is something like, "When a response is modified". Is this possible???

    I've no idea why this is tagged as "Answered", as it is not.
     
    Modifying a Microsoft Form response doesn't result in a new submission, which means a "When a new response is submitted" flow won't fire, so it's irrelevant what options one adds or modifies in the flow (as per the "answer"). What needs to happen instead:
    • Either a new form event for updated responses is added to Power Automate, or;
    • The existing "When a new response is submitted" event is updated to cope with edited submissions as well those that are "net new".

    I'm curious if anybody got the "answer" flow to work?
    I tried it without any luck.
    When I tested it, I received an error message:
     
    (yes, I did update a previously completed form).
     
    That indicates "new response submitted" does not equal "response modified".
     
    Is there an alternative to asking users to modify the list rather than the form?

    Still have this problem myself and can't find a solution. I'm surprised at the lack of info anywhere about a workaround to this.

    I tried the suggested solution, but the flow itself is not getting triggered when an 'Edit Response' happens. Is the solution working for you? If yes, are there any other settings/customization that need to be done to make this solution work?

    Does it still valid? Cause I tried. However the flow is not even triggering when I modify a response.

    Re: When Microsoft Form Response is Edited

    I feel that marking this thread as 'solved' is inappropriate. It does not address the desire for an alternate flow trigger for an edited response.

     

    As an edited response is still unable to trigger a flow in the same manner a new response submission does - a user cannot populate a SharePoint list and/or excel form with updated response data.

     

    Are there alternative solutions to capture this information from the form resubmission itself. Considering Microsoft Forms have inbuilt capacity to present response data in Excel as is, surely there is a way to pull this via power automate?

    There is no trigger to do what I asked. Instead, I'm having the users make any edits to the list instead of the form.
