I am using word connector and generating word document with picture.

I get picture file content from sharepoint list and add to word.

 

There are cases when there is no image in a flow, then file content is empty or skipped. then i getting word connector error:

The image is not of type PNG or JPG. Please provide an image of type PNG or JPG.

How should i deal with empty file content in word connector?

    e: populating word picture when file content empty

    Initialize an object variable called "1x1 Image" with the following content:

    {
 "$content-type": "image/png",
 "$content": "iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAACnej3aAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII="
}

    Like this:

    1x1Variable.PNG 

    Then in the populate a word document step, instead of using the content from the get file action use this expression:

    if(empty(outputs('Get_file_content')?['body']), variables('1x1 Image'), outputs('Get_file_content')?['body'])

    PopulateWordCondition.PNG

    This checks to see if the output of your "Get File Content" action is empty, if it is then it supplies word with the 1x1 pixel image. If it is not empty then it supplies the output of the "Get File Content" action.
