How to export documents from SharePoint including metadata to Azure blob storage

We are using flow/Azure Logic Apps to export documents from SharePoint document library to Azure Blob Storage.

Using the trigger when a file is created or modified.

We are using a condition (Archive=True) to move only documents which are equal to Archive=true.

The flow is working correctly and documents are moved to Azure file storage.

Now we have the following question: how can we create a txt,csv file for each particular export file which contains metadata from SharePoint?

Any help?

Hi @Webmagic

There is a data action within Flow called "Create CSV Table" which you can use to generate the content of a CSV file. In my example below, I have used Get Items to retrieve my documents from a SharePoint library. I have then used the Create CSV Table and used the body of the Get Items to populate my CSV. I have an option to let this action automatically create the headers (which is really messy when pulling SharePoint data) or I can define my own "custom" columns. So for illustration I have just used Created By, Created, Modified By, Modified. Once I have the CSV table defined, I can use the create file action (I've used SharePoint but you could use the Azure Storage version) and set the body as the Create CSV Table output.
