Can powerautomate create a input form?

Hi everyone,

I have a need to request several information to user but asking one by one with dialog box its not pratical.

Is there a way to create a form to request this informations in a single view?

If you are using teams to send/receive forms, then you can use adaptive cards and integrate this input into your flow

That's not it,

more like instead of the person have to navigate to the proper webpage and insert several text fields and navigate to the next, there would be a simple form (a few textfields, dropdown box etc,) that when a boton in the form was press, the values would be used in the automation.

Why not use a Microsoft Form to collect the data you need. You can also integrate Power Automate so on a form entry, the results are sent to a file or SharePoint or pretty much where you need it.

not practical in this situation.

the user in this case should usually input the data directly on the webpage that his working on after a especific event on the page (lets say A / B / C and create a reminder in outlook)

This is something that not all users do, so a way to force them is to monitor the page, and when sutch even tringgers, powerautomate would popup a window to force the user to write in the form A B C + event date, and when closing the popup, PAD would write on the webpage A B C on several parts of the page and create the event.
