Having trouble converting file to binary with dynamic content

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by nicklim 391

I am trying to convert .jpeg to binary data as I want to save the file to SharePoint.

 

The name of the .jpeg file changes from day to day based on the current date.

 

First attempt:

 

I used a wildcard in front of .jpeg but the flow throws an error saying that the file is not found

Error

Second attempt:

 

I used "Get files in folder" and search for the file with .jpeg extension and save it into %Files%

The %Files% variable value

Attempted to use the %Files% variable however received an error

Attempted to use the property %Files.FullName% but it is not available?

Is there another way of doing it or am I missing something here?
