Fix Microsoft Teams Form Not Showing in Power Automate

Product: Microsoft Power Automate, Microsoft Forms
Device & OS: not provided
Scenario: Attempting to create a Power Automate flow to trigger notifications when new responses are submitted to a team form.
Observed behavior: The specific form is missing from the dropdown menu in the Power Automate 'When a new response is submitted' trigger.

Before you start

Verify that you have sufficient permissions to view the Team or Group where the form is stored, and ensure you have the form open in your web browser to access its unique URL.

Solution 1Recommended

Enter the Form ID as a Custom Value

Bypass the missing dropdown option by manually copying the Form ID from the browser and pasting it into Power Automate.

Forms that belong to a Group or Team rather than a personal OneDrive account often do not populate automatically in the Power Automate trigger dropdown. You can easily work around this by identifying the form's unique ID from its web address.

Open your Microsoft Form

Navigate to the Microsoft Forms portal and open the specific form you want to link to your flow.

Copy the Form ID from the URL

Look at the address bar in your browser. Find the text that says 'FormId=' and copy the long string of letters and numbers immediately following it.

Select Custom Value in Power Automate

In Power Automate, add the 'When a new response is submitted' trigger. Click the dropdown for the Form Id field, scroll to the bottom, and click 'Enter custom value'.

Paste the ID

Paste the copied alphanumeric string into the field. You must repeat this custom value process for the 'Get response details' action as well.

Trigger Activation: Once the custom ID is pasted, Power Automate will successfully monitor the Group form for new responses.

Solution 2

Create the Form Directly within the Team Group

Ensure the form is properly designated as a Group Form so that related team members and flows can access it correctly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does a form stored in Teams OneDrive not appear in Power Automate?

Forms tied to a Team or SharePoint Group (Group Forms) are owned by the collective group rather than an individual user. Power Automate's default dropdown lists often only pull forms tied directly to your personal user profile, causing Group Forms to be hidden.

Where exactly do I find the Form ID for a Microsoft Form?

Open your form in a web browser to view or edit it. In the address bar, look for the section of the URL that starts with 'FormId='. The Form ID is the entire string of text after the equals sign up to the next ampersand (&) or the end of the URL.

Does the custom ID workaround apply to Excel workbooks stored in SharePoint?

Yes. If your form is linked to an Excel workbook hosted on a SharePoint site or a Teams channel, you can still trigger workflows by pasting the Form ID as a custom value into both the trigger and the 'Get response details' action.
