Update file properties on creation

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 2
We've just transitioned to SharePoint, and currently every invoice saved in a folder has to be renamed with the supplier name and invoice number, as well as a few properties columns being filled in with information from the PDF.
 
I have an AI model set up to read most of the required information from the PDF with a view to automating most of this, but I can't figure out how to do the last step, i.e. actually making the flow do the renaming and data entry.
I know it's possible using emails and importing attachments, but this isn't an option.
 
Please can you advise how I would go about this?

    For renaming file name- you have to use send http request action coming under SharePoint connector , refer below blog
     
     
    Also for updating properties associtaed with file , i.e the columns- use update file peroperties action as shown below and populate the column with output from AI builder action.
