Help! I can't get PA to create a PDF file from a Forms submission and emailed to recipients and stored in SharePoint.

Hello,

I'm new to Power Automate. While I try to be as resourceful as possible, I'm lost. I'm helping HR with automating their Exit Interview Form process. I got the flow to submit the submissions into the Excel file hosted in SharePoint Online, but none of the following steps work.

Ideally, I'd like for it to perform the following tasks:

Form is submitted
Results are converted into a PDF file
The PDF file is emailed to HR staff
A copy is placed in a SharePoint site for retention

Along the way, any extraneous files that were created would be deleted. The only file necessary to keep is what is in steps three and four.

Attached is a screenshot of a process I tried duplicating from another site. Logically, it feels like it's supposed to work, but it's not.

You can create a PDF file by first creating a HTML file and then converting it to PDF.

I have explained how you accomplish this with SharePoint as an example.

The same logic applies to Forms too.

Hello, and thank you for your suggestion.

I did try to follow your example, but with minor experience with Power Automate, I am not sure why it's still not working. I'm not seeing any results in the 28-day run history. The only thing that my workflow is doing is collecting the information, but it's not creating the file and emailing it.

Here's my updated flow.
