Need help Selecting field from MS Form for use in Power Automate flow

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 9

Hi.

I am currently working on a flow that uses the value from a MS Form field as a condition to execute certain actions. The flow is fairly simple(image below) but I find that regardless of the value submitted through the form, the output in power automate seems blank. Hence, the conditions always evaluate to false.

The entire flow looks like almost like the image below:

All branches in parallel perform similar function i.e send an email based on the value of a form field.

 

Zooming in on the leftmost branch:

The goal was to send an email notification using the value of "Report Channel" however, it keeps resolving to false and upon including the values of those fields in the email body, I found the values were all blank despite inputting some texts in every field while filling the form.

 

I am not sufficiently familiar with the power platform and I would appreciate if someone could explain why this is happening.

 

 

As a side note, I tried to make "Report Channel" field an option field with check boxes to enable easy checks on the parallel branches since that would make it possible to hardcode the values of "Report Channels" in the form; that proved too difficult for my skill level. I would appreciate if someone could shed light on how I could check for values in such scenario(i.e check for a value in multiple choice field using the response Id in the Condition). Thanks in anticipation.

    @Temit0pe if each condition is looking at the same Forms question then instead of a condition you could use a Switch. Add a Compose somewhere to check what value is being returned.

    Hi, Rob. Thanks for the quick response.

     

    I am familiar with the switch statement from programming experience but I don't know if it'll address the need here. The blocks are arranged in parallel so they could be independent. Ideally z I wanted that particular field to be multiple choice so options (e.g A,B,C and D) could be selected and deselected. Based on the selections, one or all of the blocks in parallel could be triggered. This is exactly what I wanted. 

     

    Would the switch statement enable this? And does it explain why the fields were empty when I received email notification that should contain the values (ref the second image in the original post)?

     

    Regards,
