Microsoft Forms Powers Approvals Templates in Microsoft Teams, and other updates | April 2021
RE: When I use Power Automate to try to create a Flow where an approval is created every time the Form is filled out, it won't let me use the Form from this team. Even though the instance of Power Automate is within that same Team. I can only use Forms which are attached to my personal Forms account.
After the form is moved to a group, copy the Form id from the URL. Everything after the: ID=
In the Flow trigger action "When a new response is submitted", at the bottom of the Form id drop down, select "Enter custom id" then paste in the Form id.
Careful to remove any leading or trailing spaces.
Same thing in the action "Get response details"
RE: the whole thing is owned by a Teams team and not by myself?
Speak to your IT department about having a system account setup and transfer the ownership of the flow to that account. This is in the interest of the IT department as well, to avoid reports of lost functionality when flows owned by individuals cease to work after they move teams/leave the company.
