Power Platform Community Forum Thread Details

I have a bunch of forms, which are essentially the same in most respects, but for some reasons, need to be kept separate and not merged.

I am creating a flow that is triggered by a response being submitted. There's an inbuilt action for that. So far so good.

However, the way I deal with the form data is exactly the same for all the forms, so the same flow would work for all the forms. The problem is - I don't know how to set up the flow to trigger if any of forms is submitted. I am able to setup only with a single trigger.

Building flows

Hi VPundir ,

Thank you for choosing Microsoft Power Platform and Dynamics 365 Communities.

To create a flow that triggers when any of multiple forms are submitted, you can use a combination of flows and a master flow to handle the form data.

Here's a step-by-step approach:

Step 1: Create Individual Flows for Each Form
Create a Flow for Each Form:

Create a separate flow for each form.

Use the "When a new response is submitted" trigger for each form.

Add an action to call a master flow and pass the form data as parameters.

Call a Master Flow:

Use the "HTTP" action to call the master flow.

Pass the form data as parameters in the HTTP request.

Step 2: Create a Master Flow to Handle Form Data
Create a Master Flow:

Create a new flow that will handle the form data.

Use the "When an HTTP request is received" trigger.

Process Form Data:

Add actions to process the form data as needed.

Use the parameters passed from the individual flows to handle the form data.

Example Configuration
Individual Flow (for each form)
Trigger: "When a new response is submitted" (for the specific form).

Get Response Details: Use the "Get response details" action to retrieve the form data.

HTTP Action: Use the "HTTP" action to call the master flow.

Method: POST

URI: URL of the master flow

Headers: Content-Type: application/json

Body: Pass the form data as JSON.

Master/parent Flow
Trigger: "When an HTTP request is received".

Process Form Data: Add actions to process the form data.

Use the parameters passed from the individual flows.

By setting up individual flows for each form and a master flow to handle the form data, you can achieve the desired functionality without merging the forms.
