Insert Image to Word File [DEPRECATED]
This action is deprecated, meaning it is outdated and no longer maintained. It can still be used, but the updated version here (opens in a new tab) includes new features and bug fixes.
Usage
You can insert an image to a Word DOCX file at a certain position indicated by a placeholder.
The Placeholder is a code consisting of a random string and "##" before and after it. In our action's field "Placeholder name" it is sufficient to write the string without using the "##". For an example, find an image below.

Power Automate Examples
Insert Image to Word File
We use one "Get file content"-action to retrieve an existing Word document and another one to retrieve an existing image. In the Word document we included an text about a giraffe and the placeholder code: "##image##". At the position of the placeholder code, the image will be inserted. Thereafter, the Word is being saved.
