Building a flow: If a file name matches the title of the newly created sharepoint list item, attach a link to that file to the item

Posted on by 15

Hi Everyone,

 

I am in a bit of a pickle.

 

I am trying to create a flow which, when a new SharePoint list item is created, looks through a specified folder. Once it finds a file (spreadsheet) with the same name as the SharePoint item title, it would attach a link to that item in a specified column.

 

Is there a way to do this at all? I don't want it to attach the file itself as that'd make it difficult to edit later.

 

Thanks!

    Hi @phoenixclusterx 

     

    Is your document stored under a document library? Any particular folder or all folders under a library? Please explain?

     

    Thanks

    Hi,

     

    This is all stored in the same SharePoint library. Those spreadsheets are all in one folder. There is always a list item and a corresponding spreadsheet with the same name.

    Hi @phoenixclusterx 

     

    Thanks for your reply. I have got a tutorial video about how to search file from a SharePoint document library. Here it is.
