Hi sunilbsrv2k 

 

Rob's suggestion is the way I do it too.

 

Have a play with this Start an approval process and send email on Microsoft Form submission | Microsoft Power Automate

 

With a bit of practice and research (Google search), you can create some terrific workflows that meet your needs and on which you can build more sophisticated solutions from.

 

Good luck

Damien

 

P.S. Yes, I used Google. Don't unfriend me Microsoft 😅

    Hi Damien,

    Thanks for your response. I tried few things with MS Forms - Power Automate combination... but it didnt work.

    Hence wanted to check if there was any other way. I have now tried "Approvals" app and it has worked to a certain extent. But I am not able to load any data available to me in a file.

      Hi sunilbsrv2k 

       

      That workflow you've started has you heading in the right direction. You can add to it and have that data downloaded to a file or to a SharePoint list, etc as you require.

       

      I suggest mapping your process flow so you can further adjust the solution in Power Automate.

       

      Let us know how you want to proceed and we'll do our best as a community to support you where we can.

       

      Cheers

      Damien

       

      P.S. In the meantime, you can explore the options for downloading content to a file such as below. It will simply depend on how you want the output to be (via email, email attachment, PDF, word doc, HTML file, etc):

        Hi Damien_Rosario,

        Thank you so much for your kind words.

        I have created the form as a template and it looks to be good. One of the Teams want to use it.

        However, this form does not have any uinque ID column.

        So I have 2 questions here:

        1. how to get unique ID for each form submitted.
        For example: if there are 20 to 30 forms submitted over a period of time; if I want to search for a particular Request, how to work around it.

        2. also is there a possibility of displaying a table that I have in my Excel file that contains some hiring data, so that the approver can refer to it and Approve

        Thanks
        Sunil B S
