Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hi Folks,

 

I am looking for a solution where a person can submit Microsoft form only 4 times in a month and the submission is updated in a sharepoint list item. the 4 number limit has to be renewed every month.

PLease share some insights on how to go about with this.

 

Regards

    Here is how to approach:

    1. Include a column in the SharePoint list with the email address of the submitter
    2. When a new form is submitted:
      1. Use a Get items action to retrieve items from the SharePoint list
      2. Use a filter query in the Get items action that limits the items returned to items submitted by the submitter in the past 30 days
    3. If the count of the items is 5 or more, then don't add a new row

    Your Odata filter will look something like this:

    Email eq 'email from Forms' and Created le 'formatDateTime(utcNow(),'yyyy-MM-dd') and Created gt 'addDays(utcNow(),-30,'yyyy-MM-dd')

    FormatDatTime() and addDays() are expressions and must ne entered in the expression window.  utcNow() is an expression as well/

     

    Let me know if you need more help.

    The key limit is for MS forms, I guess you can check with Forms team.

    For flow(power automate), the trigger is post-action, which means it triggers after submission.
