ExportPdfDocument called from Power Automate missing related table fields

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Glenn.J

We have a flow that generates a PDF document based on a custom table.

When the power automate calls the Dynamics API ExportPdfDocument, the PDF document is created except for the address field, which is blank.  The address field is in the contact table associated with the custom table.

I've put a get row by Id into the flow on the step before - which confirms the address is there.

If use the Export to PDF button on the record within Dynamics, the Preview / generated PDF has the address.

I'm hoping someone has seen this issue before.

Thanks in advance

Glenn

    Thanks Leah,

    The first link is the process I followed.  All the other fields merge find through the automation.   Just not the multi-line address field.

    Will look through the other two links to see if they work better.

    Hi Glenn,

    Could you share each steps about your flow?

    You mentioned that you are using Dynamics API ExportPdfDocument in power automate, you can refer to the following link:

    Or you can try to another way to achieve your goal:

    (1)Create and call action in the power automate to generate word document:
