connection is failed to Word business online

Posted on by 2

Dears, please advise if I am limited with my current license "Power Apps Premium" and because of that I can't add to my Flow the Word template?

When I'm looking for the action Populate Word template (Word business online) I see, that it's written nearby the name of the action the word "Premium".

When I chose it I can't connect to Word business online (my connection is failed)

however I can connect to the sharepoint or Excel business online.

thank you in advance for your reply,

with kind regards,

Lisa

    Hey,
     
     
    You would need Power Automate premium to use the Word Business Online connector. Both SharePoint and Excel are standard connectors which is why you can use those.

    Hello 

    To use "Populate a Microsoft Word template" action requires a Power Automate Premium license. Standard Office 365 licenses do not include this functionality.

     

    Do you have premium license associated with the account used for flow creation?

    Thank you.

    I have "Power Apps Premium" license. Per info I've found on Microsoft site it might be enough (screenshot below), but it's not very clear

    Hello,
     
    Please check below link, it explains how to do it without premium power automate. You will have to trigger it from power apps and will be able to do it.

    If you want to use the connector in Power Automate i believe you need a Power Automate premium license, not a Power Apps premium license.
