(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 61

Hi All !

 

I use Approval Flow in my organization in France.

 

My flow is ok until my last email of approbation. But I would like to copy (not create) the file wich was approved in a second list ans delete this file of the firt list.

I don't know if you understand me.

 

Can you help me ?

 

Best regards,

 

Camille

    Hi @CamilleB,

     

    Could you please share a screenshot of your flow's configuration?

    Do you want to store a file in a SharePoint list as a attachment of an item?

    Do you want to copy (not create) a file which was approved from an item of first list into an item of second list?

    Or want to copy a file from a SharePoint library to another SharePoitn library?

     

    If you want to copy (not create) a file which was approved from an item of first list into an item of second list, I afraid that there is no way to achieve your needs in Microsoft Flow currently.

     

    If you provide more details about your scenario, I would provide a proper solution for you.

     

    Best regards,

    Kris

    Hi @v-xida-msft

     

    Thanks for your reply !

     

    Yes i would like to copy a file wich was approved.

    So if its impossible, i need to copy / delete the file manually ?

     

    I think i can do something :

    - start an approvla flow with a documetn wich was approved.

    - The final action is "send an email"

    - After the final action, can I do just a copy file in other list ?

     

    If i cannot do this, maybe I can ask this option in the community idea ?

     

    Best Regards,

    Camille

    Hi,

    I come back to you because i try to do something with my flow.

     

    I creat flow with three actions.

    Concerning the action 2 "Créer un fichier", it's run under FLOW but not in reality. The file is not in the list.

     

    That's a screenshot of my flow - In "Contenu du fichier" i don't know waht i need because i just would like to copy the entire file (Title + attachment but it's not running :
