Posted on by ailecs

Hello, I am very new to Power Automate and faced this problem; I created a Group Microsoft Form (with 1 question requesting to attach document), hence all attachments go to SharePoint instead of OneDrive.

I want to do multiple tasks at one go:

1. Store each submission in SharePoint List. When I click each entry, I should be able to see the attachment.

2. Sort the attachments that comes in to its respective folder based on the choice the user chose for 1 of the question. e.g. question ask to classify the Category, and if they choose Cat 1 from the dropdown list, the attachment will go to Cat 1 folder.

3. Rename the attachments to "Customer Name-Category_Submission Date"

I managed to figure out how to do 1, but can't figure out how to incorporate 2 and 3 into the flow.

@ailecs for 2 you could use a switch control which is a type of condition that looks at just 1 thing, in the case the category. You can have up to 25 "cases" in each switch and add the appropriate action into each 1: in case the answer is Cat 1 then put the attachment into the Cat 1 folder. An example of a switch is in the image below:

Hi Rob,

Thank you for your very prompt reply. May I know how I can incorporate that to my existing flow? Currently I am using your flow here for 1.

Also for 3, is there a way to do it?
