Update list of files with a flow

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

Hello,

 

I am sorry for posting probably quite stupid question but I am new to SP flows and need to make this work fast. I am stuck for few days now and googling does not help 😞

 

I need to create a flow (or a set of flows) that would create and update a list of files in specific folders and some of their metadata. Should the file be deleted from the library its record from the list should be deleted too. Basicaly it should parse content of several folders / libraries into one list.

 

I got a flow that triggers whenever file is added or updated. In case it is a new file it adds a record in my list correctly. However I struggle to find a way how to update the recrod if only some changes were made to the file (either to its contents or to some metadata). In this case my flow just adds another record in the list which is not what I want.

 

I know each file on SP should have unique ID that should give me a way how to identify it and was hoping this should give me a way how to identify records in the list that should be updated (or removed) but I did not find a way how to do this. Could someone give me a hint please?
