Hello,

I have the following flow in place and I need to add a step that if the folder already exists on create new folder that it skips that section and completes the following steps after:

I did found Solved: Sharepoint Create File - Skip for files that alrea... - Power Platform Community where it suggested adding a scope action, is this the best way to resolve it?

Hi @shelleyb ,

Yes, the scope and configure run after action method will work.

The other way is to check for the folder but will require loops depending on how many folders there are.

Pretty sure theres also a SP API to check if a folder exists but again, does the same job as option 1

Hi @shelleyb ,

No problems.

You dont really need the parallel action.

Have a look at this blog and it should clear it up. Put your create folder and create sharing link in the try block and put everything else in the finally block.

Try - try doing these actions
Catch - if error occured in try, run these
Finally - run these avtions regardless of success/fail
