I'm stuck in my flow. I'm saving emails to a SharePoint folder Document Library. a folder is created if folder doesn't exist however when folder name has '#' in the start of the folder name the folder cannot be not found where file is to be save although folder exists/created already . strange even I use concat i.e concat('#','Test') ain't working. Appreciate for help

If this is not exactly what you need, please provide some additional context, or an image of the error message in Power Automate.

Let me know if it works for you or if you need any additional help!
