To address one of the top user asks for Microsoft Forms, we are releasing the email notification for new responses. Forms designers can now go to "Settings" and enable this feature by checking "Email notification of each response". The forms designers will receive an email notification each time a new response is submitted.

Notification setting in Microsoft Forms
Email for new response
MicrosoftHow about the ability to add other email address to have the responses sent out to? Any work around for this?
I'd like to specific the email address for the notifications completely.
Would it be possible to have the option for another person within the organization to receive notifications as well but also whenever it gets edited ?
I would like multiple people to receive alerts when a response is sent...is this possible?
Also, to provide a little more context for my request here -- in many ways, the processes at our organization are still fairly traditional... we need technology-based processes to be more efficient than using paper, or they won't be adopted. We are an extremely streamlined organization, and we can't afford to make any task more time-consuming than it already is.
It's a pretty involved form -- it can often include a couple dozen questions. Again, tech savviness is an issue as well... and I've been spoiled by Jotform from long ago. Hopefully they respond soon. I appreciate the time.
I can't see a way to make this easier in flow, none of the data returned includes the question names.
You've got quite a low bar for how much labour, I cant see how it would be more than 5 minutes to do it as you describe if you've got 10 questions, use a template bit of html and insert the question names and dynamic response. I would use a table.
I see you've voted on UserVoice already (https://microsoftforms.uservoice.com/forums/386451-welcome-to-microsoft-forms-suggestion-box/suggestions/31218256-ability-to-e-mail-user-s-responses-back-them). Its the 9th most requested feature so I'm sure the Forms team will take note.
Thanks, Steven -- and I apologize because the problem we're having is a bit difficult to explain here.
The Form + Flow combination works well for any forms that never change, but we have some forms that change fairly regularly.
Ideally we'd have a quick and easy way to return the form user's responses (each one preceded by the corresponding question) to them in an email where it's formatted like this:
Dear [submitter name]
Thank you for submitting [etc]...
[Q1 content]
[A1 content]
[Q2 content]
[A2 content]
[Q3 content]
[A3 content]
and so on.
Right now, doing this in Flows is fairly labor intensive, as we have to retype all the questions and then add the dynamic responses (which aren't even in the order they appear on the form). It takes more time, is pretty confusing, leaves room for error, and is difficult to format.
If there's some way to set up a form/flow template that does this, or a single bit of code I can have my colleague just copy and paste somewhere into the flow, or a couple of flows I can daisy-chain together, I'm open to it. Otherwise we may have to go back to Google Forms in the near future. With Google Forms (and, as I recall, in Jotform), simply checking a box accomplishes what we need.
Clear as mud? I am not a developer and I haven't gotten into expressions, so perhaps there's a solution there... I need to make this easy for someone who is not very tech savvy. Please let me know if you have questions, and thanks in advance for any insight!

This is ridiculous. There HAS to be a workaround where we can easily get form questions and respondent answers into an email. Does anyone have ideas? Can someone please help??
If we can't figure it out in the next week, we will have to go back to Google forms, or start using Jotform. Totally disappointing.
