Get attachment flow not working

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 4
Hi, hoping I can get assistance with a flow which is attempting to move the attachments from 11 lists and save to a file on OneDrive. There seems to be an issue with the For Loop but I cannot work out the problem. I tried co-pilot but had trouble with changing the designer as it would not save due to the issue. Help most appreciated.

    could you place here a screenshot of your flow and error message?

    Are you getting the file content from the list and re-creating the file under Onedrive? List attachments are a little tricky as to moving a standard file that's already present in a document library. 

    For some reason, I am unable to import your flow. If you could add a screenshot I would be able to assist further!

    Hi 
     
    Your goal is: You want the flow to automatically save attachments from SharePoint list items to OneDrive whenever an item is created or modified and this for 11 differenr lists, right?
     
    You have multiple “Get attachments” actions in one flow. One for each of your 11 lists.
    I think this is not the right approach for this use case.
     
    The better solution is: Create one flow per list.
     
    Trigger: When an item is created or modified (for that specific list)
     
    Actions: Get attachments, Get attachment content, Create file (OneDrive)
     
    Let me know if you want to try this and if need help with that!
