Get files (properties only) does not return all files from a folder

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 27

Hello,

I've searched the community, however could't find the answer to my issue.

I have a flow that must retrieve all files from a folder in a sharepoint library and send them by email. The folder is different every time. The flow is triggered by a sharepoint list item, where I have the folder path and id stored, and i exctract the folder name with power automate and use it in Get files (properties only), so i can find all files in the specific folder. Usually this works very well, however sometimes some of the files are not retrieved. Sometimes none of the files in the folder are detected by this action. I have checked the files, there is no issue with them. I had a case where 1 of 2 .xlsm files was not retrieved, the other was successfully returned. I also can't find any dependencies/trends when this happens. The flow doen't fail, it looks as if the folder is empty.

I would be very grateful for some help!
