@nickas there's no action in Power Automate to add a column to a SharePoint list. Why not just add the column yourself to SharePoint then use, for example, the Update Item action.

@RobElliott I have attached file in Sharepoint. Now I need to see email address of sender in separate column in Sharepoint. How accomlplish this? Because email address appears in same column where attached file exists. I need to separate attached file name and sender email address.

Hi @nickas

Use the SP connector called "Send an HTTP request to Sharepoint".

Here I create a column for email "CC" UPNs:

There are different "FieldTypeKind" depending on what column type you need. Check these out:
Microsoft.SharePoint.Client namespace () | Microsoft Docs
FieldChoice members (Microsoft.SharePoint.Client) | Microsoft Docs
FieldType Enum (Microsoft.SharePoint.Client) | Microsoft Docs <-- Especially this one
FieldType enumeration (Microsoft.SharePoint.Client) | Microsoft Docs

E.g. "Date" is made like this

{
'__metadata': {'type':'SP.FieldDateTime'},
'FieldTypeKind': 4,
'Title': 'Date Recieved',
'StaticName': 'Date Recieved'
}

..and Multichoise is made like this:

{
'__metadata': {'type':'SP.FieldMultiChoice'},
'FieldTypeKind': 15,
'Title': 'Opgaveresultat',
'StaticName': 'Opgaveresultat',
'Choices': { 'results': ['Godkendt','Afvist']}
}

I hope it helps?

BR,
Thomas

Hi @nickas

OK, so you add a column as described above (if it is not already there) and then you save all the attachments and use the "Update Item" Sharepoint connector to set the "sender Email" with your newly saved "sender email" (From, I think it is called) value.
