Save Microsoft Forms Responses (with Attachments) to a List

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by DM-30101910-0 33

I have a Microsoft Form that includes one question allowing up to five attachments, and I want to save the responses to a SharePoint list. I followed an online tutorial to build the flow, but I keep getting an error. I am not familiar with coding, so I’m not sure what the error means. I’ve checked the flow several times, and the steps match the tutorial exactly.

What might I be doing wrong? Thank you for your help!

    Since you didn't include the link to what you tried, I can only say I have seen numerous ways online to do this. Below is what works for me. Note: this assumes the files are stored in OneDrive of the owner of the form. If the form is associated with a SharePoint site, you will need to adapt these steps.
     
    1. First, use a condition to check if files were attached otherwise the flow will fail. You can use this expression to get the number of files attached, which obviously you want to be greater than zero: length(outputs('Get_response_details')?['body/yourquestionfromdynamiccontent'])
      1. Replace the output in the expression with the question that contains the attachments.
    2. Use the JSON code below for the scheme of the Paarse JSON action. The content of the Parse JSON action will be the question that contains the attachments:
    3. The Apply to each action is configured to the Output of the Parse JSON action.
    4. I have had some problems with bad attachments, so I use a condition to make sure the size is greater than 0.
    5. If it is, use the OneDrive for Business Get file content (or SharePoint get file content if stored in SharePoint) based on the id in the JSON:
    6. I am adding my files to an Azure DevOps item. You will use the Add attachment item to add it to a SharePoint list item.
    7. The second Parse JSON and the second Azure DevOps HTTP request will not be needed by your process. In my process, it just adds a comment about the attachment in Azure DevOps:
    One issue I see with what you are doing is you seem to be wrapping the question that contains the attachments in a json() expression. In the apply to each, just insert the question with the attachments there as I have done above. If my steps do not help you, post the link to what you followed.
