A flow that checks an image size that's being uploaded to a SP List

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 567

Hi All, 

 

I would like to create an automated cloud flow that checks the size of an image being uploaded to a SP List. We have a PowerApp that allows users to upload a profile image, but we would like some alert should the user upload an image bigger than 11kb.

 

The column type we're using in the SP List is a image / thumbnail type

 

Anyone done this before?

I have the same question (0)

    Go to the document library that houses the list attachments and use "Get file metadata"  to retrieve the file size.

    Hi @AdamH ,

    I made a template for your reference:

    When sharepoint submits pictures to the image column, it is stored in this place

    Here is flow:

    When this folder has pictures submitted, the flow is triggered:

    Sorry for the delay in getting back in touch. 

    It was easy to replicate that flow, but I get constant 404 errors. The flow saves ok, but flow checker informs me that the folder cannot be found. 2023-03-13 01_06_45-Edit your flow _ Power Automate - Work - Microsoft​ Edge.png2023-03-13 01_08_02-Manage your flows _ Power Automate - Work - Microsoft​ Edge.png2023-03-13 01_08_59-Run History _ Power Automate - Work - Microsoft​ Edge.png

    Hi @AdamH ,

    Sorry to trouble you,The above method has failed.

    Please try this method to get the file size of image column

    If you are confused about something in flow, please refer to this thread:

    Hi @v-chengfen-msft 

     

    I am so sorry, I missed the response email from this thread - Your original response did work, but I created the flow directly from the SP list which seemed to work. So I must have got the file navigation wrong somewhere when I tried to create the flow from PA manually.
