Getting Power Automate to complete a document, save it and send it.....

Hi All 

 

So I'm trying to build a flow that will create an excel document and it with some data from Dataverse.

 

I managed to get it to work by getting a flow to update a row in a table, then creating a new file using the content of the original file, however, this doesn't work well as when the new file is created, the information isn't in it isn't up to date - there seems to be a delay between updating the template and creating a new file. 

 

My second try was to create a new file based on the template and then update the new file, however, I can not map the fields as the file doesn't exist in the flow to do this. There must be a way however! This is what I have so far. 

 

Any suggestions welcome, wonder if I can utilise the "provide item properties" field some however or if there is another solution?

    Why not just use the copy file action then update the original. It seems like that is the action you are trying to take. To save the original file and also add to it in another file.
