Populating a word document with specific text depending on answers in MS forms

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by 2
Hello,
 
My apologies if this has been asked before but I couldn't find a response that matched my criteria. I'm quite new to using Power Automate and am at my wit's end trying to devise a solution for this problem!
 
I am trying to populate a word doc via the premium 'Populate a Word doc' connector, that uses the responses given in an MS Forms submission to add specific text, images and hyperlinks to the document. I have had some success by intialising variables and then setting them based on the conditional responses of the form but the document I am now trying to populate is so large I worry that i'll run out of variable allotments (250 max).
 
As the final document will include text, images and hyperlinks, i'm really struggling to build this flow in a way that means I'll end up with the required document without having to manually set each and every variable (and as mentioned, I believe there will need to be more than 250 variables in total). I've figured out a way of conditionally including the images and hyperlinks but I worry i'm not doing it in the most efficient/sensible manner.
 
Any advice would be very welcome and thank you for your time.

    Hi,
     
    Just feedback :-), please explain what you need, don't worry about saying what you tried, it just gets confusing and don't worry about apologizing hehe, I'm not trying to be mean but your message is 100% just stuff you don't have to stress about and has no actual ask or issue stated.  Just clearly say what you need and what is the issue and we will helpl :-) promise.
     
    What is it you need? I get that you want to populate a document with stuff from a Form, but what is the issue and ask.
