Hi all,

My goal is to upload multiple images from PowerApps to a document library and then populate a Word template with these images. No the number of images may vary so it needs to be dynamic. I came across this article which explains the process of using a repeating table

https://www.matthewdevaney.com/power-automate-create-word-document-with-a-repeating-section/

I thought i could apply this same method to images from a document library. So this would be the flow:

Get files in the folder > get file content (for all) > select all required info > populate template

I am getting stuck at the file content part for all files. I've tried a Parse JSON to apply to each but not getting anywhere. Is my scenario above doable?

Thanks,
David

Hi @AlexEncodian ,

Thanks, I've seen this connector before but have never tried it until now. I've given it a go and it works as expected for text but with images I'm having some trouble:

This is the flow
The Compose action gives me this info (I've only copied part of the base64 so it can fit)

[ { "Description": "pic1", "Name": "error.PNG", "base64": "iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAVkAAAC1CAYAAAD1A4y..." }, { "Description": "pic2", "Name": "happy.jpeg", "base64": "/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQEAtAC0AAD/4RX+RXhpZgAASUkq..." } ]

And then I used that output in the Encodian connector:

{ "companyName": "Encodian", "images": "@{outputs('Compose')}" }

But I get this error

{"HttpStatusCode":400,"HttpStatusMessage":"Bad request","Errors":["A error occurred parsing the JSON document provided: After parsing a value an unexpected character was encountered: D. Path 'images', line 5, position 9."],"OperationStatus":"Error"}

And then in my Word template I am using the following:
<<foreach [image in images]>><<[image,Description]>> <<[image,base64]>> <</foreach>>

Any idea where I am going wrong?

Thanks,
David
