Online forms platforms with tables compatible with Power Automate

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 7

Hi

 

I'm designing an automated data processing system for recruitment, and have placed the job application form online using MS Forms.  This has been suboptimal, as I'd like the form to dynamically pull which jobs are currently open from a SharePoint List, and allow applicants to only apply for those - currently admin staff have to edit the form when a job opens and closes, including adding a job reference ID to the job title in order to connect the jobs between Forms and Power Automate.  If you have any suggestions for how to improve this part of the process I'd be grateful, but I don't think its possible.

 

The other pressing issue is when asking candidates for complex data such as qualifications, including place of study, date of graduation, etc I have had to just give them a large text box to enter data into, rather than provide a table which would be much easier for data processing later on.  I believe MS Forms cannot do tables.  Is there an online forms platform which does Tables, and can link in with SharePoint?

 

I did start making an application form Power App, but quickly realised that external candidates can't use it!

 

Any tips or suggestions gratefully received.

    If you prefer staying within the Power Platform ecosystem, a viable alternative is to leverage Power Pages. Your described scenario seems like a good fit for Power Pages, especially considering its capability for use by external parties with anonymous access. Additionally, Power Pages can be  integrated with internal data sources, but  primarily utilizes Dataverse. Notably, you can also incorporate SharePoint lists using Virtual Tables.

    Thank you for the suggestion, I think you're right, that would go a long way to sorting the issue. I'm helping out a charity who are doing things on a minimal budget, so I was hoping for a free solution!
