Post multiple images to word document

Hi,

I successfully saved multiple images (3) to my sharepoint which were uploaded from a Microsoft form. I would like to then put all 3 images into a word template. I was only able to do 1... I don't know how to add the second and third images to the word template.

I have done some research, and it looks like I will need to utilize some sort of array, but I'm not sure how. Alternatively, since it's only 3 images. is it possible to just repeat the process 3 times?

You definitely don't want your "Populate a Microsoft Word Template" action in a loop, unless you're creating a new Word document for each item in the loop.

The correct way to do this is to use a loop to get and store the image content for each uploaded file in an array variable. Then when you populate your Word Template you use indexing references on your array variable.

E.g.
variables('vPicturesArray')?[0] //first image

variables('vPicturesArray')?[1] //second image

variables('vPicturesArray')?[2] //third image

However, you probably also want to handle for forms that don't have all the images uploaded, or no images at all (if your file upload field isn't required).

This can be done by creating a blank or default image and saving it in SharePoint. Then you just get that image's file content and use a Coalesce() for each Image Control in your Word Template:
