Populate Word Document not working

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

Hi all, I am trying to create a flow that takes form responses and adds them to a word document.

 

The flow runs fine and I have made sure to include the developer properties to the areas I want populated in the word document however the document is remaining blank.

 

Please see below the flow steps and the issue on the document.

What this is doing (or supposed to be doing) is populating a document template, saving a copy in a new location, and then removing the data from the template.

 

As mentioned previously, the flow is not erroring and executes fine however the NEW document still looks like below:

    In the screenshots you posted, you are not actually creating a file anywhere using the output of the populate Word action. After populating the template, there should be a create file action (Onedrive/SharePoint) using the output of the populate action as the file contents.
