Copy items and their attachments from a sharepoint list to another list

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 57

 

Currently I have that flow that takes the items from a list and sends it to another additional list that takes the attachments.
The trigger is when a new item is created.

But I want to change the activator to a SCHEDULED and take all the items that exist in the source one and move them to the other one.

I was doing some tests and achieved this.
Currently it does move all the existing items but I can't get it to add the attachments.
The flow fails in the add attachments part apparently because it shows me time out.

but when I delete the add attachment action it completes all previous actions.

    Step by Step

     

    So You are getting your Items using Get Items Action.

    Next, You use Get Attachment. The moment You point to the ID of Get items in this action, the Apply to Each will automatically be applied.

     

    Now, Make sure in this Apply to Each You add Create Item, same as on screen to make sure everything is kept in one scoop of this loop.

     

    Map all columns You want to transfer data

    Now we will add the next action get attachment content same as above when you add IDs Apply to each will automatically be applied.

     

    now first ID  will = Create item ID make sure you map it that way next File identifier will = Get Attachment ID map both from dynamic content

    At end, you need to use Add Attachment :

     

    make sure you pick your site and the right List You can See I moving all items to the TestAppArchive list same list I created for my new item

     

    Now ID will be = Create Item ID

    File Name will be = will be Get Attachment DisplayName

    File Conetent will be Get Attachment Content

     

    The whole flow should look like that after your schedule trigger and get items Action :
