Flow needing a more advanced alternative to MS Forms for grabbing anonymous user input

Posted on 4 Nov 2022 18:43:02 by 6

I want to replace a complex Formidable form on a public Wordpress website with something that works directly with Power Automate. MS Forms can't handle the more complicated questions, a Power App wouldn't be accessible to anonymous site visitors, and I'm not sure where to go from here.

 

The biggest stumbling block is one question that the user answers by filling out a list of items, with 3 (or more) fields per row. For example, each row would have one field each to capture things like "quantity", "name", and "description". The answer may only need 1 or 2 of these rows, but could need to stretch upwards of 20 rows (if they are describing 20 items).

 

Can anyone please point me toward a (preferably MS) tool that can:

  • display multiple fields per row (ex: firstname and lastname side by side)
  • handle list-type answers multi-fields and multi-rows 
  • be embedded into a public-facing Wordpress site
  • be filled in by anonymous visitors
  • kick off an automatic cloud flow without much hassle/extra services/duct tape

    It requires extra set-up, but this is the best thing I’ve found for this scenario: https://youtu.be/c4aLEJaORYo

     

    I also want to use it sometime for an input-table type of experience and I found some standard templates on the custom form site for this.
