Populate Word Template with Images at Header

Hello everyone,

I need to know if there's a problem with the 'Populate a Microsoft Word Template" in the picture content control part.

I have two 'Picture Content Control', one at the header and the other at the body. I am trying to load the same image for both of them: the body one is working just fine, the image is loading for every picture I try, but the other one is getting this message 'Unable to load the image' or 'The picture can't be displayed':

I don't know if there's something I have to work on for putting images at the header, or if it's still not possible to make this right now.

    If pictures in headers are still not supported by the Word Online connector, I would also advise to try other third-party tools. As alternative of Encodian, you can use Plumsail Documents: you need to type a text token and add a special formatter for processing pictures in this case. For example, I used this token in the header of my template:
    {{logo}:picture}
     
    In the Power Automate flow, I added an action Create document from DOCX template. Then passed it a file content of the template and an image in a JSON object. The property with the image should match the token name, and the image can be provided as a base64 string or a public URL to the picture.

     
    The result file contains the picture in a header.

    I don't think it is supported as yet.

    Allow to insert an image into the header of Word Document in MS Flow using "Populate a Microsoft Word Template" action · Community (powerautomate.com)

    Try using an Encodian action instead.
