Posted on by JoeyD

I'm trying to create a flow where it can be used across multiple sites using a technique I found on the web, and it passes the Site URL, Library GUID, and Document ID to the child flow, which has a Manually Trigger a Flow trigger to get the values.

I have a "Get file properties" action like this:

But it doesn't show anything from this action in "Dynamic Content" in subsequent actions. If I look at the OUTPUTS of it from a previous run, it shows there is JSON output:

But it doesn't allow me to reference any of it. Why is that? How can I get the metadata about the file to use in subsequent actions?

Mainly I need the ID, Path, and Link values.

Could you build the flow with Get File Properties but you actually select the list library and file so that it has tangible list values to reference?
It should let you have to dynamic content to use in following steps.

Then when you get done with the building and testing the flow, go back to the initial Get File Properties and swap it back to using the values from the manual input trigger.

I was able to figure this out. I used a Compose action with this expression:

@{outputs('Get_file_properties')?['body']['{Link}']}
