Posted on by 123

Hello All,

 

I would like to create a link to a file in a document library and save it to another folder in the document library.

 

This kind of link ->

Basically, the folder will be a collection of links to files within the same document library.

 

The flow is started from a power app button and collects all the info I need. Just cant seem to figure out which action I should use to actually create the link inside the document library

    Hi @CamCov 

    You need to compose the body of the url file and then create it.

    Add a Compose action and enter the text that you want inside your url file.

    The minimum is as follows:

    [InternetShortcut]
    URL=https://powerusers.microsoft.com

    Then use the Create File action for SharePoint to create the file with your compose outputs as the File Content of the file.
