MS Forms response in E-mail

I have created a fairly basic Form which I would like to be completed for New Starter Requests. The goal is to have the form completed and then using a Flow send the details to our ticketing system....

    PieOPah_UK yes you can send the contents of the form via email but you can't have it sent from the person completing the form. The email will always be sent by you if you use the Send an email (v2) action in your flow, or by Microsoft PowerApps and Flow if you use the Send an email notification (v3) action. What we do our business is to send flows from a shared mailbox, so emails will come from the name of that shared mailbox.

     

    At its simplest the forms-to-email flow just needs the When a new response is submitted trigger followed by the Get response details action. Then you can have any actions after that. I always save form responses into SharePoint as one of the actions but if you just want to send an email then the flow looks like this:
