Automatically Create Report Documents Based on Custom List Metadata

[pvanolinda]

I currently use SharePoint 2010 workflows to automatically create report documents. This is based on SharePoint Content Types that have Word templates assigned with Quick Parts linked to SharePoint custom columns. The workflow is triggered by (filling in the required fields first) and adding a new item to a custom list. The workflow uses the 'Create Item' action to create the document in the chosen library with the necessary metadata copied across. We end up with completed reports in the doc library without the need to even open the document. Will this be possible in Flow?

Thanks,

Pete

Here's a post that I just wrote about how to send metadata to Flow, and Flow generates a Word document with the Quick Parts populated.
