In this video we populate a word template dynamically based on a list in SharePoint. We use the repeating content control in MS Word, SharePoint and Power Automate to do that.
Come check it out we are using the new modern look & feel of power automate too!
Populating word repeating sections dynamically with Power Automate involves using the application's ability to automate tasks and process data within Microsoft Word documents. Specifically, you can create a flow that takes input data, such as text or values from forms, databases, or other sources, and inserts this data into predefined sections of a Word template. This process typically uses Word templates with content controls or placeholders that are identified and filled out by the flow based on the input. For example, you might have a Word document with repeating sections for items in an invoice, and Power Automate can dynamically fill these sections based on a list of items from an order processing system. This approach streamlines document creation, ensures consistency, and reduces manual errors by automating repetitive tasks and data entry.

Is it possible to transpose the data in Microsoft word. So that I have the Headers on the left and the values on the right? Is there a way to do this?

hello! I don't need to copy or archive and edit the copy? Is this because in case some people execute the flow could cause a problem, or not?

Perfect Video, really, I tried to do this, and after some days, I did it, but, here I don´t have the premium license. However, I did using the html of the word, kkk, and it's working, but I had to remember a sort of thing oh html, but its possible, U just need save the doc in html, and open in the note reader, copy and initialize a variable in the flow, and another for the lines from sharepoint. And finally create the archive, but just in html, so U will have to open with Word, and after save the doc. Its a way to do it without premium. I hope its useful. Nice video, I love it.

Thanks for that. Well, the premium Word connector works well, I managed to do populate templates... however, it is very limited, I wish there was a way to run a VB script to deal with specificities, etc. We run templates at my office but in several languages, so we have macro that deals with styles to use, table/column size specificities, etc. I haven't tested this list/Word connector in other languages such as Arabic, Chinese. So at the end, considering the limitation above, I have created a Power App that get the data from the list and allow client to enter further data using a form.... then PowerApp with PowerAutomate will create a data file (TXT) that is sent by email.... then I have an Outlook macro that get the TXT file, parse it (read properties, read data for bookmarks, etc.), launch MS Word, fill the bookmarks and do all the specificities and upload output file in Sharepoint and send the template to client by email. This is a workaround until VB script can be run on the cloud. It has downsides but it works great, we have more than 100 templates/categories in six language.

Great video, Im having trouble where my select is going inside an apply to each, i dont understand how the select in your video does not do the same? I'm unable to use the output in the word document because of this as well. Thanks

Is it possible to insert repeating images? I have images posted as a list attachment and convert those to base64.

Hello, very good video. But I had a question, is it possible to create a table that includes images in each row?

Firstly great video and thanks for sharing. My returned Word .docx document content controls are not editable though, is there I way I can make them editable so that the end user can change some of the content or add to it? My end user would not have access to the Developer tab in Word.

Hi! I appreciate your videos a lot. I was wondering if it is possible to achieve this without using a premium connector
