Hi,

I have a form in a word file and wanted to know if there is a way where I upload the file and it will create a list item based on the information inside it?

Thanks in advance!

Are you using content controls to have users input into the Word form?

You would need to set that up. Then you can use Power Automate to extract the control data based on the template. I believe you will need a premium license to do that.

Hi! What can I use so Power Automate can map the data inside?

Controls in Microsoft Word - this is if the form is the same time every time. Are you familiar with controls in Word?

However, you could also use the XML method (a bit more advanced):

You could also use the AI Builder, if you have a license to support that:
