Triggering the macros when creating word document

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 27

Hi,

 

Using Microsoft Flow I create word documents into a SharePoint document library based off a word template I created. The template contains 3 macros, 1. to format text, 2. to insert an online pic, 3. to send an email of the doc.

 

The problem I have, is I need a way to automatically trigger the macros to run when the document is created. Any ideas?

 

Currently I have set the macros to the Open() function which runs when the document is opened, but this isn't good enough. And I have tried the New() function, but no luck.

 

*The word documents are stored inside SharePoint Online document library.

 

Thank you.

    Hi @tech18 

     

    I just stumbled on your ticket. It's been a while since you submitted it.

     

    I don't think this is possible in Power Automate.

     

    Were you able to fix this? If so, can you please share so that we can all learn from it?
