Microsoft Power Automate Tutorial
Email Notification on Form Completion with Flow (using a template)

  • This Power Automate tutorial demonstrates how to send email notifications upon the completion of a form in Microsoft Forms. This technique can also be used to send an email from most of the Office 365 applications when a specific event occurs. Creating a flow from scratch can also be done, but using a template is usually easier.
  1. Click “Create” on the left side of the page.

    • Make sure that the flow is switched to "On" in the top right-hand corner of this page.
      When the flow is on the switch will show FlowExampleOffOn.
