Pre-populate fields in Microsoft Forms via URL parameter?
- Sending context-aware survey invitations and capturing the response with a particular context is a feature of Forms Pro, which can be combined with Flow.
You will find detailed walkthrough articles in Megan Walker blog covering the different steps involved. Here is one of her posts:

Hi René Fritsch,
As far as I know that doesn't exist. You could get the user to complete the form and kick off a Flow on completion. Then create a new list item within the flow where you populate all the information that you wanted to prepopulate the Form with.
Hi Pieter, thanks for taking the time to reply! Not sure if I understand your suggestion correctly. Do you mean that "Flow" is capable of parsing the URL of my form so that it can extract any parameter(s) that I append to it?
Hi René Fritsch,
I was more thinking along the lines of, why tell a user what their name is in a field? Just collect the data that you want to collect from the user and then afterwards in a Flow create SharePoint list items or Database records with the data that you have collected and add the username to this data.
Thanks for explaining your suggestion in more detail, Pieter. I do now understand the approach. We haven't tested it yet, but it sounds like a feasible way to meet the requirement. Not verbatim, but the objective may be reached. :-)
Hi Pieter Veenstra,
Your response is helpful, however how do we add the username while creating the sharepoint list item?
Thanks
