How to generate or edit a Form in Microsoft Forms using Power Automate
I'm looking for a way to create Microsoft Form questions and answers in Power Automate.
Can I generate a new Forms page from Power Automate?
Or can I refer to some data in an existing form and embed it in a question?
I would appreciate it if anyone could teach me.
Thank you.
Hi SHCNakamura , I don't think there's a way of dynamically creating a MS Form. If I were needing to ask questions or capture data where options or questions varied I would consider using a PowerApp over MS Forms.

SHCNakamura I recently made a video to explain how to build Power Automate flow to collect information from an MS Form and store and manage it in Model Driven (Dataverse) Power App.
- jonlakeIron ContributorHi SHCNakamura, have you considered posting adaptive cards in Teams and collecting the responses?
- SHCNakamuraCopper ContributorNo. I'd like to edit or add questions in forms using Microsoft Forms action etc.

SHCNakamura there is no trigger or action in Power Automate to create forms or questions. The only one is for when a new response is submitted.
You asked "Or can I refer to some data in an existing form and embed it in a question?" No, Forms is a very simple product and you can't reference other data, pre-populate anything or embed anything in a form.
You've asked similar questions both here and in the Forms forum with basically the same response. I think you'd be better looking at something like Power Apps for your form.
