How to rename files using a flow

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hey everyone, 

 

I have about 70,000 payroll files to rename and I'm hoping someone here can show me how to build a flow to do this for me.

 

Currently the files are named "John_Doe_29-11-2021_05-12-2021" but I need them to be renamed to "John Doe" without all of the extra stuff. Is there anything I could build to help with this?

 

Thank you!

    Hello @nlawrence

    where do you store these files? Also, if you have any flow that handles these files, show it here.
