This is what worked for me;

 

  1. Create a new flow that triggers when a new response is submitted
  2. The 2nd event is get response details, set the response id dynamic content to response id
  3. 3rd event is Post a message in a chat or channel
    1. You will need to format the message body to include your question/prompt followed by the dynamic content response

Hope this helps anyone trying to figure this out.

    Thanks, MichaelLeeper. I was able to figure it out by basing myself on a free template I found and its 3 steps are exactly as you describe. The trick is to make sure you input the correct form Id in the first 2 events, and once you get that right, the 3rd event will give you a pop-up so you can choose the dynamic fields from your form.

     

    As a reference to others trying to do this, on the 3rd event called "Post adaptive card in chat or channel", I chose to Post as "Flow bot" and Post in "Channel". I then picked the Team and Chanel I wanted to post to, and then the code/formatting in the Adaptive Card field follows:

    {
"type":"AdaptiveCard",
"body": [
 {
 "type": "TextBlock",
"text": "place your cursor between the quotes here to get the popup",
"size": "Medium",
 "spacing": "None",
 "wrap": true
}
 ],
  "version": "1.2",
 "$schema": "http://adaptivecards.io/schemas/adaptive-card.json"
}
