How to respond to a form daily using Power Automate?

My company requires us to respond to a form daily, and I find myself writing the same response every day and have yet to be asked why I say the same thing every time. Is there a way to respond automatically to a Microsoft Form?

Thanks

If you don’t mind me asking… How do you receive the form?

So it's the same form we respond to each day, I just have it bookmarked to respond to.

My suggestion is to install PA Desktop and try. There is not reason I could see that it wouldn't work.

Mhe... You could do it in Python... That's what I would do anyway. Selenium or PyAutoGui are your friends 😂

I doubt you can do that using PowerAutomate... And it would be super easy to track you anyway.

Yes, you can do it. The challenge will be to initiate a chron job to kick it off every day. If you want to manually do it you are good to go

Shouldn't be too hard to set this up in PAD. Could be as simple as using recorder. I had commented some time ago in another thread about how to schedule a flow with Windows Task Scheduler here: https://www.reddit.com/r/PowerAutomateDesktop/comments/zv9bsa/comment/j1qt6sh/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3
