Posted on by S-Venkadesh 1,184 Super User 2026 Season 1
I wanted user to submit their input in the form of rich text(images, table and text) and save it into SharePoint List item rich text field. Is there a way bot can read the Rich text posted by user? If yes, then i can use the SharePoint connector to save the data to SharePoint list item

    Pls check below steps:
     
    • In Power Apps, add a Rich Text Editor control to your form to allow users to input text, images, and tables.
    • Set the control’s Default property to any initial rich text content you want to display, or leave it blank for new entries.
    • Bind the Rich Text Editor content to a variable or collection in Power Apps
      • Set(userRichText, RichTextEditor1.HtmlText)
         
    • Ensure your SharePoint list is connected to Power Apps and has a multiline text field with Rich Text enabled (to store the user’s input).
    • When the user submits the form, use the Patch function to save the rich text content from the editor to the corresponding SharePoint list item.
      • Patch(
            'SharePointList',
            Defaults('SharePointList'),
            {
                Title: "User Submission", // Example for Title field
                RichTextField: userRichText // Storing the rich text content
            }
        )
         
    • You can use Copilot Studio to build a bot that collects user input, including rich text. While text-based inputs are easily captured, images and tables require special handling.
    • Once the user submits the input, pass the rich text collected by the bot into Power Apps or Power Automate to handle the saving process.

    Similar to the below Suggestion,
     
    • Use Power Apps or another UI that supports rich text, such as a HTML Text Input Control where the user can input formatted content.
    • Once the input is submitted by the user, capture the content in a flow using Power Automate. You can trigger a Power Automate flow when the user submits the form. The flow will then capture the content and pass it to SharePoint.
    • In Power Automate, use the SharePoint connector to update or create a list item. You can use the "Update item" or "Create item" action in the SharePoint connector to update a specific field in the SharePoint list. Ensure the column where you are storing this input in SharePoint is a Rich Text or Enhanced Rich Text column.
     
    Thanks.
