Description

reading the issues #790 and #789, I thought that it would be interesting to make a further step and integrate Forms with Flow.

There are a lot of possible conditions and actions that could be of interest, like for example:

  • when someone answered a form (then send a Talk message to user x)
  • when someone sends this message to the group y then answer with the csv file of the answers
  • when someone answered a form then send to that user a message (email, whatever, ...) thanking for the feedback

and so on...

An hypothesis of schema

conditions

  • When someone create a form
  • When someone answers a form
  • When someone answers the form x
  • When someone shares a form

actions

  • then share the form x with the user
  • then send the files with the answers of the form x to the user y (via email, sharing the file, ...)
  • then update an analytics report

I put only the actions specific to the Forms app, it is clear that all the other actions would be usable.

Research direction

Start by reading issues #790 and #789, which this proposal references, to understand the existing Forms and Flow context. The issue does not identify files, tests, entry points, or a concrete first condition/action; done would require an agreed, bounded integration scope before implementation can begin.
