Power Automate flow from Send as email address

Hi
 
I have a query regarding the collection of responses from Microsoft Forms using Power Automate, I am hoping someone may have come across this issue before and may have a possible solution?
 
My employer is a large organisation (10,000 + employees) and the staff need to complete a variety of online training and send declarations (to a generic email address) when they have done so. I want to automate this process as it is currently manual.  
 
I have created a Microsoft form for the declaration and have built a flow in Power Automate 
 
My issue is I am trying to work out how to set my power automate flow up so that the email comes from the person completing the forms own (work) email address (From Send as) to the generic email address.  I can see that there is the possibility of creating/adding a generic email address (using admin permissions) to send the form from but I would prefer (if possible) if it could come from the persons email address 
 
Does anyone know if this can be done quickly / easily given the size of the organisation? or know of any alternative options?
 
Thank you

    Thank you for responding.  The flow is designed so that our staff complete the appropriate training for their role and are given the correct access to the correct systems to complete their jobs.
     
    I need the Microsoft form information to generate an outlook email that will be sent to the team that initiate the access (and who man the generic email account) 
     
    We keep meticulous details of who has completed what training (currently on an excel spreadsheet which is entered manually) - so it would be extremely helpful if the From (send as) option to the generic email could be the person who has completed the form.  I can add this as an option in advanced settings but it throws an error message if I ask a colleague to complete the form 
     
    As I mentioned, I know that I can add another generic email address in the Admin app - but my employers preference is that the email comes from the responder.  I just wondered if there was a quick way of doing this?

    Hi,
     
    could you please explain what exactly your flow is aimed for? Why do you wish to send email  from the person completing the form?
