The connector makes it very easy and straight forward to create a form within the designer resulting in a URL that you can send to the external party. With App Power Easy Forms you can build your forms right within Power Automate cloud flow or Azure Logic Apps designer without need to use any external third-party form editor. The process is simple: 1) add an action to create a new form, 2) add fields to the form and 3) wait for form reseponse. You can also use Adaptive Cards JSON to create the forms.

Get started with the connector

To get started with the connector and to create a new form the URL which you can send to the recipient, follow these steps:

  1. Create a new App Power Forms connection if not yet created
  2. Add Create new App Power Easy form action to create a new form (As a response to this action you get a URL you can send to the person you want to fill in the form.) Choose Create new App Power Easy form
  3. Add multiple Add new field to App Power Easy form actions to add fields to your form Add fields to the form
  4. Send the form URL to the recipient you want to fill the form
  5. Add Wait for form response action to wait for form response (TIP: Alternatively you can create another flow and use When form is submitted trigger to react to the form submission.) The form being filled by the recipient
  6. Once the form is submitted, you can process the field values and save them to you ERP system, for example Submitted form values utilized later in the flow

(Once your flow fetches submitted data from App Power service the data is removed from the database, the data entered on the forms is persisted in App Power database only as long as it is absolutely necessary.)

Known issues and limitations

  • If you add a field to a form and then remove it in the designer, the field is still visible in the dynamic content picker. However when the flow is run the value will always be empty.
  • Currently there is no way to remove forms that have been added during flow design.
  • If, during the same authoring session, you add Wait for form response action and after that you go back and add new fields to the form, the new fields are not visible in the dynamics content picker as outputs of the Wait for form response action. Workarounds:
    • Save the flow
    • Make a change to Wait for form response action (e.g. choose a different form and then change back to the original one)
