Finding the File ID?

Posted on by Community Power Pla...

I created a flow that is triggered by a SharePoint file being modified and once modified, the flow sends an email to an admin account. Presently, the email is very rudimentary - there is only text that I have populated saying "the file has been updated", however, I'd like to provide more details in the body of the email. I'd like to include the following:

1) Who modified the file

2) What modifications were made to the file

I know that #1 should be pretty easy to accomplish using the SharePoint action, "Get File Properties". The challenge for me is trying to figure out what the "ID" of the file is. I've employed the trial and error method to hopefully guess the correct file ID, but after 3 days of failed attempt after failed attempt, I'm posting here. Is there a straightforward way for me to figure out the ID of the file that I'm trying to access?

Re: Finding the File ID?

Hi @Anonymous,

I think the ID you mentioned here should be the Item ID within the Library.

See my posts in another thread:
