Power Automate Examples
Add Text to Word File
We do not use an existing Word document which leads to the action creating one. The first action then adds a Header containing the date. Thereafter, the next action adds a subtitle containing a timestamp. Followed by the last Add to Word File action which then adds the Text "Hello world". Finally, the Word is being saved.
For every subsequent action, make sure to select the File Response from the previous step in the Existing File Content field.
