How to create documents in Power Automate (free and premium)


This article discusses two ways to create documents in Power Automate flows. The "free" approach involves adding placeholders as columns to a SharePoint document library, preparing a Word template, uploading and downloading the file, adding placeholders into the document, and uploading the file back into the library. The "premium" approach, which requires a premium Power Automate license, involves adding placeholders into a Word file, creating a flow to populate the template and convert it to PDF. The premium approach is easier and allows for more flexibility, but requires a license. Both approaches have limitations, such as not being able to transfer rich text or combining different formatting in text blocks.
