Populate a Word Template

Posted on by SamHarland97

Hi,

I am looking for some help.

I ma creating a Flow where I would like a MS Word Template to be populated upon completing an online form. I am struggling to find the templates I have created on the file explorer in PowerAutomate.

The templates have been saved as both .dotx and .dotm documents. On the file explorer my documents which are saved as .docx show up but not those which are templates.

These files have been saved on my OneDrive for Business currently but also on a SharePoint Site and I can't find them on either.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks. File Browse.png Template File Type.png

For the word Template you can't use dotx it is a normal docx file with content controls added.

Please check my blog article below that explains how this is working in detail:

Hi there.

I'm trying to do the same flow as @SamHarland97 but when want to add the action "populate word template.." MS Word is not showing up.

Can anyone tell me why this might be?
