Need help with Power Automate: Can someone edit their Forms and for it to update the whole system?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 13

About the Workflow I attached = It basically updates a list in Sharepoint everytime someone submits an answer on MS Forms, then sends an approval request to their line manager, and then if approved, sends an email to the original submitter saying it has been approved and creates and html, then pdf which saves in a specific folder. If unapproved, it sends the same email to the submitter saying it has been rejected and also does the same process of creating the html first, then the pdf into the specific folder. On the parallel branch, it just sends an email after 30 days saying it has expired and to submit another forms.

 

What I would like to do: An issue everyone has faced is that once they submit the MS Forms, even if they have the option to go back and edit their responses, this does not sync with the list nor with the html/pdf. Which is pointless because if there are any errors, they would have to go and resubmit a whole MS Forms with the corrections given by their line manager.

I am really struggling to find a solution for this - would anyone have any idea on how to do this? 

 

Thank you all.

    Maybe you could store the user's email in the list of SharePoint then for each submitter, make the flow verify if the user's email exists or not before the submission date mines 30 days, if true that means update items in sharepoint for this specific user if not then that means insert new items.
    I hope this could help, tell me if this is much clear or not.
