Template in word - connected by Google drive.

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hi Guys, 

 

I have a flow that generates a word template using sharepoint as the storage location. Due to the Sharepoint API issues, I now need to convert this flow to use google drive instead of Sharepoint. I seem to be having issues adding google drive as the location for the template, and only see one drive and sharepoint listed; as seen below. Any ideas how I can add GD to this flow?

    Hi @Anonymous 

     

    Currently the populate word template action accepts files from sharepoint and onedrive only. If you think that Google Drive should be added as well, you can create an idea post or upvote existing similar ones here: https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Power-Automate-Ideas/idb-p/MPAIdeas

     

    However, you can use other third party connectors like Projectum to get the file content of the template stored anywhere and then use json to populate it. These services require separate subscription with service provider though. 

     

    Hope this Helps!
