hi @schuess3 I see the trigger you are using is when a item is created, If is life you need to use when a file is created.
See my example
last(split(triggerOutputs()['headers']['x-ms-file-id'],'%252f'))

Hi @schuess3,

What's the Hyperlink column type? Is it a custom column and stored by the other Flow?

There is a similar post I found, hope it could help you something:

@ChristianAbata - Thanks for the response, but in my real world situation, this would not work. The flow will not be executing on the document library where the file was added.

@abm - File size is 18 KB, Type is .docx

@v-litu-msft - The hyperlink column type is a SharePoint Hyperlink type column. Thanks for the link, but we need to discover whether or not there is a bug in the "Upload from Hyperlink" action, or if not, what are the requirements to use it.

More Background...
The flow runs on the creation or modification of a SharePoint List Item. That List item has a hyperlink column where we stored the link to the document of our choosing that is in a document library on the same site.

I also have a list with a column type of Hyperlink, which point to hundreds of different people's OneDrives. I am trying to make a flow that copies each of them to a specific SharePoint folder (and convert it to PDF).

I'm interested to know what route you ended up going on this.
