Encountering Get_file_metadata File ID error

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Mingosaur

Hi all,

I've created a flow whereby users upload a single excel file (only one file upload) via MS forms. The uploaded file is saved to a folder in our company's sharepoint. The issue I'm currently facing is retrieving the file's ID to extract the information from the excel file.

 

My workflow is shown below:

Also attached below is the error details.

Hope to get your expert opinions on troubleshooting this problem!

 

Many thanks!
