Creating a document containing information from a new list item

Posted on 5 Dec 2023 00:31:47 by 10

I am trying to build a flow that automatically creates/populates a document with information from a newly created list item. 

 

I have tried a few methods including merging documents, but I don't know enough about templates to be sure I am starting from the right point. I just want the flow to create a simple document to act as a receipt of the information in the new list item so that I can add this to a folder. The file can be .docx or .pdf. 

 

I am also hoping there is a way to capture the text information of my list item, as well as a thumbnail image. 

 

Any advice on where to start (templates etc) and how to build a working flow to transfer list item info into a document will be great!
