I think you might be psychic. Every time I wonder if I can do something you drop exactly the right video.

[seanpeters]

I know you have been doing this for a while but when you go through these without missing syntax or a "" or curly brace is impressive! always so clear and concise

[dougydoe]

You make it look simple and easy to do. I've done this sometime in the past but watched it as if it was my first time watching this feature so I can learn something and wasn't disappointed at all. Thanks for sharing.

You are the best at these videos Reza! Thank you for all the time and effort you put into making them.

Great video Reza! Appreciate it. Very clean execution and explanation. I did the first part with a Power BI trigger and worked beautifully. Much thanks!

The trick with the compose is super smart. Thank you Reza

[PANDUANOFFICE]

Nice video tutorial. Thanks for sharing

[sheikhmuzammil]

Thanks for the demo reza, it would be very helpful if you can also make video on dynamicFileSchema when user dynamically selects docx file from the document library. 😊

Hi Reza, Great video! Really appreciate it! I've followed your flow and it works! But do you know why the attachment in the email appears not in a Word document? I need to download the attachment first and then open the Word document.

Thank you Reza :) Is there any video in your planned to create PowerApps about project planner that show in Gantt chart / Time line view ? (Thanks again for multiple valuable video :) )

[arkadipghosh]

Thank you for this .I need one more help, how to get the signature image file from dataverse .

[fadiahdab]

Thank you reza, it is amazing shot, i wish it was not premium one, currently i have a purchase request form being printed through HTMl document using flow

Thank you for sharing this Reza! I always wondered why “File Identifier” did not work when I used the same exact text from Environment Variables... Though it seems I forgot “encodeUriComponent” part 🤦🏻‍♂️

[WaliSayed]

Very useful Reza jan. I use this method to generate a Word document by entering data in a PowerApps form but didn't know why to remove the double quotes in the attachment.

[drkdemk]

Yet another great one. I can't thank you enough. BTW, is it possible to merge different word files in one consolidated file leveraging power automate (without using third-party connectors)?

[ImGumby]

Great information! Can this be done without the Premium Connectors? I did follow your tutorial on Power Apps to PDF; however, it appears the experimental version does not allow the use of shapes, lines, etc. in creation of a PDF. For that reason, Word would appear to be a better option.

Hi you make great video, is it possible to use a fingerprint reader on a powerapps application, it would be cool thanks

[solarpunk_]

What would be really interesting is creating tables in Word with repeating sections. You intimated that it could be done in your chapter on building the Word template, but I'd be keen to see it working in practice...
