[Power Automate] Populate a Microsoft Word Template - Table of Content

Hello everyone,

I’m trying to generate documents using a Word Template (.docx) in Power Automate, and I need the final document to include a Table of Contents (TOC) that is automatically updated based on the headings (Heading 1) that I send from the flow.

However, I’m running into several issues:

When I send text that should appear as Heading 1, the Word template does not update the TOC.
Even after converting the generated file to PDF, the TOC still shows outdated entries.
I tried using HTML with <h1>, but the Word Template does not convert these tags into Word heading styles.
I also tried several common suggestions from the community (Rich Text Content Controls, HTML-to-text conversions, etc.), but none of them cause the TOC to refresh automatically.

At this point, I’m not finding any supported way to generate a document from a Word Template (.docx), insert headings dynamically, and end up with a correctly updated Table of Contents, either in the DOCX or in the final PDF.

Any guidance or working solutions would be greatly appreciated.
