Converting image to word using power apps and power automate

[BelitaDsouza]

Hi there, I have a digital signature power app where a user fills out some fields and then signs. 
I have used a word doc template to populate the fields using the developer mode.
Everything works fine, except for the image (for the signature).
The error I'm getting in Power Automate is "The image is not of type PNG or JPG. Please provide an image of type PNG or JPG. 
clientRequestId: fa3e687e-7662-4508-8731-2ec821115628".

How can this be avoided?
Thank you in advance!

how are you sending the image from powerapps to flow? Can you please show the parameter value in powerapps that you are passing?

Hi there,

I followed this youtube video (Learn PowerApps - Autofill Templates in Sharepoint Tutorial - YouTube), and therefore I was trying to send the image by the "Ask in powerapp" function in Flow. 

(I have attached the flow and the app screenshot in the post incase you missed it)

This is the formula I used on the button, which is associated with the triggering the flow.

Unfortunately, the peninput1.image is not the format the word template accepts. 

You need to perform steps such as storing the image first on azure or SharePoint and then getting the file content and place in word template

You can see a solution here: https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Building-Power-Apps/pen-input-in-a-word-document/td-p/677873
