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.
