Extracting name from form

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 3

Hi there, 

 

This is my first post and try to explain as clearly as I can :).

 

- I have built a form using MS Forms. In the settings, I have selected that only people from my organisation can respond and the 'Record Name' box is ticked.

- I have built a workflow in PowerAutomate, which takes the form answers and inserts the answers into a row in a spreadsheet.

- I cannot find how to add the name in (without manually asking someone's name in the form). The form allows me to add respondants email address but not name? (see screenshot attached).Powerbi 1.png

 

So how can I add the respondant's name from the form into excel, without explicitly asking for their name in the form?

 

Huge thanks in advance!!

 

Peter

    You won't get the user's name.  You will get a field in the details called Responder's email.  You can use that to find the user's information in the Office365Users connection.
