4. Before you create your flow, click on 'Untitled' and enter a name for your flow.


5. From the list of apps and tools, select Microsoft Forms.

6. Click on the Form ID box and pick a form that you want to use from the list.


7. Click New Step.


8. Enter 'get response details' in the search box and select Get response details for Microsoft Forms in the 'Actions' tab. This is to automatically collect the responses from the Microsoft forms.

15. Click Save.
16. To test your flow, click Test.


17. If the form is new, select 'Manually' and submit a new response to the selected form to trigger the flow. If there are already previous responses in your form, you can select 'Automatically' to trigger the action.


18. MS Flow will let you know if the flow you created is successful. 
19. To verify if the flow works successfully, go to your SharePoint list and check if the responses from the selected Microsoft Forms were recorded.
