Word Create (Session)

Type: word-create  ·  Package: Word Activities v1.0.0  ·  Output: ZoanWordSession

Create a .docx document new and empty and return a session to fill it with paragraphs, tables and images. It is the starting point to generate documents from the bot: letters, reports, minutes, contracts.

How it works

Create the document at path path. Two modes:

• With body (recommended): you add the content within the sub-flow and, when finished, the document is saved and closed automatically.
• Without body: returns the session as output; You add content by passing it session, and at the end you save with Word Save and close with Word Close.

Required parameters

Subflows (lanes)

Example

Generate a report with title, text and a table:

Word Create   path = = "C:/reportes/ventas_" + today().ToString("yyyyMM") + ".docx"
 └─ body:
      Word Append Paragraph   text = "Reporte de Ventas"   style = Title
      Word Append Paragraph   text = = "Generado el " + today().ToString("yyyy-MM-dd")
      Word Append Paragraph   text = "Detalle"   style = Heading1
      Word Append Table       table = = ventas

Build requires session

The Append Paragraph, Append Table, and Insert Image activities only work within a session. That is why the typical pattern for generating documents is Word Create with body.
