Show Word file from Sharepoint with format in canvas app using a flow

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by aorro933

Good morning.

 

I am trying to use a Word stored in Sharepoint as a template to use in Power Apps. I will use it as a body in a mail launched from the app.

 

The problem is that I can't get the output in a readable code. I have tried all the base64 functions with no result.

 

Does anyone have any idea?

 

My flow and outputs:

Output without base64 transformation:

Thanks a lot!

    Thanks for your reply. 

     

    My specific case starts from a word file in Sharepoint, and it is mandatory as this is the way users have to edit this word template. Do you know how to get the xml from there? I only have a word file, not a folder.

     

    Thanks

    Hi @aorro933 ,

     

    According to the blog, you need to use an Extract archive to folder action first and unzip the Word file.

     

    Best regards,
