Is there a way to send a MS Forms reminder to the people who haven't completed the survey?

Does anyone know of a way to send out a reminder to the people whom you have requested to collect responses from, within MS Forms? 

I am looking for an automated way to send out a reminder, instead of having to look through who has responded and cross-check with the list of people the MS Forms survey has been sent to.

    Are you the author of the form? If yes, you could try the Remind them feature on the Responses tab, as highlighted in orange, here. :smile: You'll see a small window where you can customise a short message before sending the reminder.

      LJMP21 This feature is now gone, you only have the option to remind all 😞

        Silje_C_F You could have the details of each repondent's email address in a SharePoint list, together with a second column for the date they responded. Then in Power Automate have a flow that triggers when each Forms response comes in, looks up the email address in the list and updates it with today's date. Then have a second flow with a recurrence schedule flow set to 1 day and to start at some date in the future. It would get all the items from the list where the response date is empty and, for each one, send them a reminder email.
