Error in Workflow Trying to Pull Content from Word Doc to SP List

Posted on by 4
Hello,
 
The workflow shows no errors, but when I run it, I get an Invalid Template error.
I am attaching the complete workflow along with the error message.
 
Scenario:
  • I have tagged a Word Doc with Content Controls
  • I save Word Doc as XML
Any direction you can provide is greatly appreciated.

    Hi @CU20031956-1,
     
    Your Compose step with base64ToString() should reference the file content correctly. Can you please check that? For example:
    base64ToString(outputs('Get_file_content')?['body']['$content'])
     

    One more thing, when using the xml() function in Compose to parse the XML string, let's ensure the input is a valid XML string. If the input is malformed or empty, it causes errors.
     
    For eample, you can try this xml(outputs('Compose_Base64ToString')) skipping XML Raw action.  (Assuming your base64ToString output is in a Compose named "Compose_Base64ToString")
     
    Finally, the xpath() function requires a valid XML object and a correct XPath query. Let's make sure its converting in a valid format.
    xpath(outputs('Compose_XML'), '//VendorName/text()')
     

    I am sure some clues I tried to give. If these clues help to resolve the issue brought you by here, please don't forget to check the box Does this answer your question? At the same time, I am pretty sure you have liked the response!
