    I'm getting the same error on what should be a pretty simple job. Trying to email anyone that submits a response via MS Forms with an email that contains a unique ID:

    no need to put a bracket, he searches for words and exchanges for others, simple

    I got it, solved my problem, went to the encodian website, changed the API key, updated the data connection menu in power automate.

    I put it in the template document as words that I want to be replaced in square brackets [] as I saw in the example: https://blog.encodian.com/2020/05/populate-a-word-or-pdf-document-using -power-automate / Does the document word have to be capitalized? the text it will replace is dynamic data collected from excel forms and tables. When the stream is displayed the following error: The response is not in JSON format.
