Power Automate trigger and action for forms in SharePoint (Preview)

Power Automate introduces preview triggers and actions for SharePoint forms, enabling workflow automation on form submissions starting May 2026. Features include “Form submitted” trigger and “Get form metadata” action, supporting dynamic form handling and scalable automation while respecting existing SharePoint permissions. We’re introducing new Power Automate capabilities for forms in SharePoint, enabling customers to automate workflows based on form submissions. These features are in Preview and may evolve before full General Availability. This update includes: A new trigger: Form submitted A new action: Get form metadata  When this will happen: Public preview: We will begin rolling out in early May 2026 and expect to complete by late May 2026. This post will be updated with General Availability dates in the future. How this will affect your organization: Who is affected: Power Automate users building flows with SharePoint forms SharePoint site owners and creators using forms experiences Administrators managing Power Automate and SharePoint What will happen: The Form submitted trigger in Power Automate starts flows when a form is submitted from SharePoint list, file upload, or document generation experiences. The Get form metadata action retrieves the form structure, including fields, schema, and configuration, and enables flows to dynamically read form structure. Flows can use form metadata (such as field names, types, required status, and defaults) to dynamically map responses without manual configuration, reducing fragility caused by dependency on fixed field IDs. These capabilities enable scalable automation scenarios such as approvals, notifications, integrations with other systems, routing, and orchestration based on form submissions. Document generation scenarios require enrollment in AI in SharePoint Public Preview. Existing SharePoint permissions are respected, and no additional configuration is required. What you can do to prepare: No action is required.  Ensure Power Automate is enabled in your tenant. Review permissions for SharePoint sites (SharePoint site settings > site permissions) as flows will respect existing SharePoint access controls. Communicate updates to flow makers.
