Automate word to download image by URL

Hi everyone! 

 

I've been working in my life with word only for the basics, but recently i got a job and there they gave a task that envolves automation and word.

 

Well, i have to insert a image in the word document using the URL that will be informed. So, i tried to use the "INCLUDEPICTURE" tag, but it only works if i do manually. Is there any other way i could do this? 

 

This is how it all needs to happen: 

  1. Person will fullfill the form and submit it to the system;
  2. The system will use the datas to generate a first document;
  3. The system will make a API requisition, generate a QRCODE, and save the link of the QRCODE image;
  4. The system will generate a new Word 2016 document with the QRCODE inserted in it.

But I couldn't figure out how to insert the image automatically using a tag and link.

 

Here's a example image link: < https://chart.googleapis.com/chart?chs=200x200&cht=qr&chl=teste >

 

And here is how i'm inserting data on the document.

 

Can anyone help me? :sad:
