"File Content" field under the Create File action

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 12

Hi there,

 

I am trying to connect Jotform and SharePoint via Power Automate, but I've run into a small issue. Once I get to the "File Content" field under the "Create File" action, it's just a simple text box. What even needs to be added here? How can I specify the contents of a file (in a text box) if the contents of the file haven't even been created yet (in this case, a form being submitted through Jotform would upload a PDF copy of that form to SharePoint. But they could contain different information each time)?

 

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

    This is a different flow, but it has the same occurrence as the other. The "File Content" section is just a blank text box. What should be added here? ...Or is this meant to be a type of description for what will be in the actual file?

    @dominict8  Power automate considers "File Content" field as a whole existing file. Therefore, if you are getting any output as file content from previous actions, use it here in this action. for reference see below:
