Get file content to retrieve the latest uploaded file

Hi, 

 

Could anybody help with the flow that I need to do. I just couldn't make it retrieve the new file created in Sharepoint. What should I indicate in the File Identifier? The flow works well if I select a file name. But how can I make it to function that it retrieves the new file created in Sharepoint?

    Hi @Achavan 

     Yes I am using the uploaded file in the folder as a trigger. The flow ran successfully for me. But when I open the file in my email, the extracted pdf fails to load:

    This is my flow now:

    Hi @jsig20 ,

    I tried on my trial instance, Uploaded a Pdf file on SharePoint and it worked for me.

    Since I can see you have added folder on trigger of the flow. Are you uploading this file on folder to trigger this flow ?

    Hi @Achavan ,

     

    I tried Identifier but when I do, the generated pdf file fails to load. Any tips on what I might be doing wrong?

    Hi @jsig20 

    Use Identifier from the trigger body.
