Get a Form ID...

(10) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

I'm creating a flow that is supposed to trigger when a new form is created.  Sadly, the trigger action requires a form ID but doesn't list the form.  The form doesn't show in my pulldown menu, it was created and shared by someone else.  I'm pasting the name of the form but only getting Flow errors.

 

Where can I get the form ID?

Why does the form doesn't show up in my pulldown menu in the action?

    Bonjour,

     

    Je suis confronté au même problème que vous je cherche à récupérer les réponses du formulaire pour créer un doc word ou PDF. Avez-vous réussi ?

    Navigate to your Group Form, and get the Form ID from the end of the URL

    Then you can click "Use custom value" in Automate, and just paste the Form ID in the box.

    I have got a similar problem: all the solutions in this thread work when it is a form owned by myself. But I want to use one that is owned by my organistion WITHOUT copying it to my list of forms. Do I need to enable some admin rights?

    Hi,

     

    I am new to this platform. But please mark this as a solution if this fix your problem.

     

    Step 1 :- Make sure you are in "My Forms". Go to - My Forms

    Step 3:- Create a form here and then go to power automate > Template > Select one > and then Find ID will populate the form you recently created.

    This now should be available in your power automate flow.

    Hope this helps. 🙂

     

    Thank you!

    Group Forms allow for so much more flexibility in terms of automation, privacy, and management of the form the data by sending to an excel doc in your Group's SP back end.  You can then send an http call to your form and delete the data from the Forms server and it still stays in your SP back end for preservation.  

     

    @Scott0044 - Yes, I've experienced the same issue with flow ownership, I can't wait for service accounts at my work so this becomes less of a hassle.  People aren't aware of all the connections in Automate, and that you need to export/import the flow from one user to another.  It also makes it challenging when you're using these user "claims" connections to try to actually to capture other user interaction data in the flow without having the user modify items.
