Populate Word Template with attachments from a SharePointList

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

Hi Guys,

 

I'm in the middle of creating a Flow to populate a word template.

 

Context:

I've created a PowerApp where Inspection Reports can be filled and then it should be able to generate a report. Those contents are stored then in a SharePointList.

 

Now, for generating a report - I'm working on a flow to generate (therefore populate) a word template with the data given trough the app and the sharepointlist. The problem now is that a I have dynamic amount of attachments (pictures) that i would like to have in the report as well. How do I achieve that?

 

This is what i have upon until now:

I know how you could do this with a fixed amount of attachments - but unfortunately i cant find a solution for multiple. I prepared a Word Template and used the "plain text control" field. For the normal data that works perfectly.

 

So my questions:

- How do I achieve that the generated report populates whatever amount of pictures and also gives me a field for comments to each picture?

- I have a SharePoint column "Resp. Person" which is a person column. Its easy to extract the Name, Email, title etc. from this, but how do I extract the work phone number?

 

Any help would be highly appreciated and in case anything is unclear please let me know.


Thanks!

    Did you ever get a solution. I have a similar issue. 

     

    My flow is (the bold is the problem right now):

    1. MS Forms info gets entered, sometimes with attachments (photos and documents)
    2. Data populates to a Sharepoint page
    3. Data from Sharepoint populates a Word template
    4. I would like the attachments to be added to the Word template (links would be fine)
    5. Email the Word document to an approver

    Any suggestions would be great
