Want an activity alert for Forms when in Edit Mode

Hi All,
For the life of me, I cannot figure out how to get an activity alert set up for a Microsoft Form owned by a M365 group I am a member of.  I have no problem being notified of form submissions... so why is it so much to ask to be notified when someone in the group has edited my form?  
 
This is very easy to set up in SharePoint or Teams.
What am I missing?

    AmberSchifferyou're not missing anything, there is no activity alert when a form is edited. Hopefully before too long we'll get a Power Automate trigger for this.

      In pondering work arounds... wondering if it could work to move the generated excel file from the Form to our sharepoint site and put an activity alert on it there? The issue is, I'd need to find a way to make the activity alert differentiate between a new row being added (form submission) Vs the Header Row being modified (form edit).
      Any idea how to do that?

      Thanks!
