HTTP request to update SharePoint field

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Thaone2 73
Hello, 
 
I am building a flow but needing a little assistance. In the flow I am creating a file in a SharePoint document library using the adobe split action and the create a file action. Once I pass the file name from the adobe action to the create item action, I am unable to update the file properties and change the name. I have been researching and think the http request is my only option to update this column in the document library. Does this make sense or is there an easier way to update the column? I am not familiar with the http request so could really use some help. Thanks in advance

    Hi
     
    I am not following, you said
     
     Once I pass the file name from the adobe action to the create item action, I am unable to update the file properties and change the name
     
    What does this mean? That you have other actions in the same flow or another flow that you are trying to change the file properties (what properties???) and can't?
     
    Please share what you have.

    Sorry for the confusion. My question is, is there a way to update a static field in a SP document library using the "Send an HTTP request to SharePoint" action? For instance, the Created By, Modified By, File Name, etc.
