Dears, please advise if I am limited with my current license "Power Apps Premium" and because of that I can't add to my Flow the Word template?
When I'm looking for the action Populate Word template (Word business online) I see, that it's written nearby the name of the action the word "Premium".
When I chose it I can't connect to Word business online (my connection is failed)
however I can connect to the sharepoint or Excel business online.
thank you in advance for your reply,
with kind regards,
Lisa

in the answer provided by AI was written that "Power Apps Premium and other premium plans include premium connectors with limitations." Does it mean that I am limited with my current license "Power Apps Premium" and because of that I can't add to my Flow the Word template (Word business online connection is failed)?

Dear Lisa,
Thank you for your message.
Yes, what you are experiencing is expected behavior and is related to licensing rather than a technical issue.
The “Populate a Microsoft Word template (Word Online – Business)” action belongs to the Word Online (Business) connector, which Microsoft classifies as a Premium connector. This is explicitly documented by Microsoft.
According to Microsoft Learn:
-- The Word Online (Business) connector is a Premium connector and is available only with Power Automate Premium (and related premium plans). Source: Microsoft Learn – Word Online (Business) connector
Because of this:
Microsoft’s licensing documentation further confirms that Premium connectors are not included with standard Microsoft 365 or Power Apps licenses alone and require Power Automate Premium (per‑user or per‑flow).
Source: Microsoft Learn – Power Automate licensing overview
This explains why the action appears in the designer (marked as Premium), but the connection to Word Online (Business) fails when the required license is not present.
Summary:
I hope this clarifies the situation.
With kind regards, Purva Shah
Dear Purva Shah many thanks for your reply.
Please be assured I have "Power Apps Premium" license. Per info I've found on Microsoft site it might be enough (screenshot below), but it's not very clear
