Hello Everyone,

I'm trying to create a flow that does the following:

1. Run daily at 3:00 am

2. Identify all channels with a particular MS Team

3. Move all pictures (jpg) in the "Files" tab of each channel into a "Photos" folder within each Team.

Please note that channels will be add randomly as required so the list of channels are not static.

I believe that I have achieved items 1 and 2.

Flow Steps for each item:

1. Setup a scheduled flow

2. Used the Teams "List Channels" option. When I run this it retrieves the appropriate information.

I'm assuming that I will need to use the SharePoint "Move File" option for item 3

I'm not sure how to tell the SharePoint "Move File" option to move jpg files from the "File" root directory to the "Photos" subfolder based on the list of channels retrieved form item 2

I also believe that I may need to add a step that creates the "Photos" subfolder if it does not exist already.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated

Hi @VA-08042300-0,

Are you only using standard channels?

If that is the case normally all channel files tabs are folders in one Shared Documents library of the related SharePoint site. So, in that case it can be sufficient lookup that library and use for example a Get files (properties only) action which checks if a file is of type jpg.

Additionally, you would want to check if the path contains Photos. In that case the file already has been moved.

Below is an example for a Team which only uses standard channels

1. Send an HTTP request v2 is used to lookup the related website of the Team

2. Get Files (properties only)

Filter Query

(File_x0020_Type eq 'jpg')

3. Filter Array to check if the Path does not contain Photos, in that case it has not been moved yet

Filter Array query

@not(contains(item()['{Path}'], 'Photos'))

4. Move file Action uses

Site Address

outputs('Send_an_HTTP_request_V2')?['body']['value']

File to Move

item()['{Identifier}']

Happy to help out 😁
