Capture Edited Form Submission
Hello.
I have created a Power automate to capture the response when a form is submitted. We allow the users to edit the from after submission, sometimes they don't have all the info at first submission. Does anyone know how to capture the resubmission of the form after the user edits it. The Excel sheet that the form is linked to does get updated with the resubmission but I cannot use this to trigger an alert for the edit. I am trying to avoid linking the form to Sharepoint list just to capture the change. Ideally I would like to trigger a workflow directly from the resubmission of the form.
Thanks

I could be wrong, but "soon" is still in force, feature doesn't exist.
How about this:
- Create a scheduled Power Automate flow that runs periodically to check for changes.
- Use the List rows in a table to retrieve the latest responses.
- Compare the last modified timestamp to detect updates

Hi
That's what I'm doing at the moment but its a bit clunky, ideally I'd like to trigger an alert from the Form resubmission but there doesn't appear to be a trigger to capture this.
