Thank you for this great video! I learned a lot from it. I have a question: is there a way to create and save new word files instead of sending emails?

@powertothepeople4525 9 ай бұрын

Definitely! Instead of sending the email, you could use the "create file" action with either onedrive or SharePoint connector

Hi, can we have the word doc without content controls while sending over email? How to avoid Content controls in the attached word doc??

@AdiCristea 9 ай бұрын

Nice one! Wouldn't a Select be more suitable as it doesn't need resetting nor an inner Apply to each?

@powertothepeople4525 9 ай бұрын

Absolutely! Just tested it to make sure it would work. When you're right, you're right :)

I did this today but I have this weird issue where I can see each of the array rows correctly on Word online, but in the app version it duplicates the first row. I have tries rebuilding the content controls and repeating sections from scratch on the template but no luck. Any ideas that could help? Thanks!

How do you populate repeating sections inside repeating sections (like an array inside and array) ? [ { "PortfolioName": "Portfolio A", "Projects": [ { "ProjectName": "Project 1" }, { "ProjectName": "Project 2" }, { "ProjectName": "Project 3" } ] }, { "PortfolioName": "Portfolio B", "Projects": [ { "ProjectName": "Project 4" }, { "ProjectName": "Project 5" } ] } ] Word seems to allow it, buy Power Automate doesn't recognize the embedded repeating section

Amazing Video Nate. Can you make the same video with JSON object from PowerApps , instead of the sharePoint list. Thank you.

Do you have a strategy for hiding the initial table or labels so that the section doesn't show unless there is data to populate?

With the content controls, you can change the Placeholder text by clicking the "Design mode" button. This will show the content controls with tags and the Placeholder text can be edited. The only way to "remove" placeholder text is to format the Placeholder Text style with "hidden". This style is always hidden in the list of styles, so... Click the dialog box launcher of the Styles group in the Home tab. At the bottom of the task pane, click the button at the right. In the "Edit" tab, select "Alphabetical" as the sort order. Look for "Placeholder text" in the list. Click "Modify". Click Format and choose "Font". In the Font dialog box, click the checkbox for "Hidden" until you see a checkmark.

Can it be done without the premium connector in powerautomate?

I have the same question but i think he is not going to reply for it.

Sorry for the delay! in terms of populating a word document, that'll likely always require a premium license :(

Hi Great video and thanks for the detailed explanation. However, could you please explain how to convert populated word document in SharePoint to Pdf. I tried with "Convert Word Document to PDF" and it is not working. Kindly help.

Thank you for your Video , I have a question: Is it possible to dynamically select a specific template at runtime based on input values? For instance, if we have more than 40 templates (e.g., Temp1, Temp2, Temp3, etc.), can the system choose the correct template depending on the provided input? Looking forward to your guidance.
