    @Lukas3 Refer to this section of my YT Tutorial: How to Get a Microsoft Form RSVP Response into a SharePoint List

     

    In this Microsoft Power Automate tutorial, I’ll show you how to get your Microsoft Form responses into SharePoint. I’ll cover how to build a Microsoft form with conditional fields by using branching. You’ll learn how to format your multiple choice responses for a SharePoint multi-choice column as well as converting it to text. I’ll also show you how to take a text response and convert it to a number with a switch action and with an expression. After adding the response to SharePoint, we’ll send the user an email confirmation with all the details of their form submission.
