    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:

I see, some competitive products have this feature (Survey Monkey) but in the implementations I've seen you give them a list of the email addresses you want to invite and they automate the process, this isn't something that Microsoft Forms has at this stage.

 

I can't really think of a way to build it in Office 365 using tools like PowerApps, the issue is that nearly every service requires users to be logged in.

 

Microsoft invites suggestions for new features for Forms at https://microsoftforms.uservoice.com, if you get enough support they are keen to build what their users are asking for.
