Connecting to user entered forms

I thought this would be simple but I'm struggling to find a solution. I'm looking to have users answer a set of questions. This can be done by any process, I'm not tied to a specific input. However, I don't want them to see previous entries, hence why I am not just having them add info to an excel spreadsheet. Is there a recommended way to do this? I like using Microsoft Forms, but I don't want to have to manually upload the input every time I run my workflow. What's the best practice here?

Have you considered using an app in Alteryx: Interactive Lessons - Alteryx Community. I think you have to have a designer license to use them. However if you have server anyone could run the app.

If you want to be super fancy, you could create a survey or google forms and then connect to the source via API or a connector. For example, if you use Qualtrics or Survey Monkey, they both offer APIs that you can connect, and every time you run the workflow, it'll fetch the latest data. If you use Google Forms, you connect to its linked Google Sheets, which will update every time you run the workflow.
