Hi,
I got two questions:
1) How do you create a table with data by defining json? I want to create a table that does not exist in it from before, and fill it with data from the flow
2) How do you insert a new line with text that is already formatted as Header 1 or Header 2? I want to create a table of content in the end
How did you format the Evidence field to read the image? Is there any watermark added? When I type the text Power Automate returns the error "The following error occurred populating the word document provided: Tag 'image' is not well-formed. Tag 'image' must be located within an image "
same here. do you have any updates about that?
well i've figured it out, thanks
@@YasintaKurnia99 nice ;)
The image tag would only ever insert an image into the document, adding a watermark is a totally different amendment to the document which can be performed with the 'Add Text Watermark to Word' action - support.encodian.com/hc/en-gb/articles/4411284008593-Add-Text-Watermark-to-Word
Please refer to the following documentation which provides a visual guide on how to configure the word document and Encodian image token - support.encodian.com/hc/en-gb/articles/10401460927388-Images
Hi , can you please elaborate the expression which is used in "Get Attachment Content " action
We're using the Power Automate first() expression to return the first item in an array. examples: www.encodian.com/blog/get-the-first-item-or-first-file-from-an-array-in-power-automate/
Hello, I have a doubt, I need to populate a Word with at least 5 attachments and also want the names to be displayed on top of the image it will generate. What would be the correct form to write the word document?
Please refer to the following post which provides a detail example of how to do this - www.encodian.com/blog/add-sharepoint-list-item-data-to-a-document/
Can this be done for mail merge from excel to word and save the file?
Hi ,i am getting error route did not match status :400 can u plz help
I want to populate image attachment to word template any help much appreciated!!!
Please contact support@encodian.com, a 400 error is generated when invalid data is sent for processing.
Thanks! Can you please do a video on repeating paragraphs with hanging indentations? Used allow carriage option in plaintext but new line is always starting as indented
The engine will repeat the exact data contained within the tag... if a carriage return is being added it must be present within the repeating paragraph.
Anyone knows if it is at all possible to populate several images with the repeating control in Word? If I define at table as repeated and insert an image control - when in Powerapps I cannot assign value to the image, only the text controls.
You cannot do this with the native 'Word Online' premium connector, you can do this with Encodian 'Populate Word' action, example of working with multilpe images is also provided here: www.encodian.com/blog/add-sharepoint-list-item-data-to-a-document/
@@encodian I tried using encodian but was asked for API key, connection name and region... so I figured this is something I'm not allowed to use at work...
@@s961201 - You simply need to register for an API Key @ www.encodian.com/apikey
Is there a way to modify a document like deleting a chapter based on a condition?
@josephus - Yes, you can use conditional expressions to control the data added to a document - support.encodian.com/hc/en-gb/articles/360020512538-Conditional-Expressions
This method I assume is free connectors avoiding the premium associated with connecting in to word? If so This looks great for what I need!
The Encodian connector is a 'Standard' connector and does not require Microsoft Power Platform premium licences
Does this work for tables with multiple records?
Sure does, check out - support.encodian.com/hc/en-gb/articles/360020426438-Tables
how to escape all characters? like '\'?
I'd suggest contacting support@encodian.com - its not clear what you are trying to escape... if you are trying to escape speech marks / double quotes please review - www.encodian.com/blog/escape-double-quotes-in-json-using-power-automate/
can it used on powerapps?
Yes, just pass the data from your PowerApp to Power Automate 😎
