Notifications for multiple emails in Microsoft Forms

Microsoft Forms is a powerful tool for those who want to create surveys and quizzes, so you can collect data from other people. But if you want to select multiple emails but if you want to send notifications for multiple emails in Microsoft Forms, the task is not that simple since the Forms author will receive them alone.

That’s why I’ve created this post to help you! Empowered by Microsoft Power Automate functionalities, you can easily route those notifications without problems.

Microsoft Forms example that will trigger the notifications

First you must create your form and configure it just like you want!

After that, head to Microsoft Flow and create a new automated flow that is triggered when a new response is submitted.

Right after clicking Create, the Flow design page you be presented. Select the Form you just created before.

Selecting a form as a trigger

After selecting the flow, add a New Step and select Send an email notification. Here you can define who is going to receive the e-mail, if it’s only one person or a group. In my case I’ve decided to send the notifications to my Gmail account. When you are done, click on Subject field and select the List of response notifications Response Id. This will make flow understand that can be multiple responses and will create a loop for you in a Apply to each block

Adding the action for sending emails

In this Apply to each section, add a new action to Get response details. We will define here once more the Form and the Response Id.

Getting the response details from the Form

Now you can reference the fields answered in the Form inside the Send an email action.

Finishing the email action

Finally click save and go to your form to answer it and test the Flow!

    I get along the steps just fine, until I get the “Send an email notification (V3)” dialog. I enter a “To:” email address, tab to the “Subject” and the only dynamic content in the pop-up is “Response Id” — No “List of response notifications Response Id” option is shown.

    The “To:” email address is of the form “deadbeef.examplePortal.onmicrosoft.com@amer.teams.ms” where examplePortal is a real buisness.
