Hello All,

Thank you advance for any assistance you provide. I am very new to Power Automate and hoping to create a flow in which when a new pdf sent via email is analyzed and extracts texts from the PDF. Due to possible inconsistencies, I was hoping to create a microsoft teams message or approval in which the values pulled from the AI Builder can be edited if there is an error. Then when the correct information is edited, it can be approved for entry into a new row.

Is this possible?

Thanks again

Yes, it is possible to create a flow in Microsoft Power Automate that extracts text from a PDF file sent via email, and then sends a message or approval to Microsoft Teams with the extracted text for review and editing.

To get started, you will need to create a new flow and set up a trigger that fires when a new email with a PDF attachment is received. You can then use the "Extract Text from PDF" action from the "AI Builder" connector to extract the text from the PDF file.

Next, you can use the "Post a message as the flow bot to a channel" action from the "Microsoft Teams" connector to send a message or approval to a Microsoft Teams channel with the extracted text. This message or approval can include interactive elements such as buttons or forms that allow the user to edit the extracted text.

Finally, you can use the edited text to create a new row in an Excel sheet or other data source. You can use the "Create a new row" action from the "Excel" connector to accomplish this.
