"Get file propertie" doesn't reconized librairie

Posted on by khedidja90 38
Hi,
In Power Automate, I'm trying to retrieve the properties of a file.
The name of the library is dynamic, so it is stored in a variable.
I used an HTTP request and a JSON parse action to retrieve the name of the library.
My JSON correctly retrieves the value (the library name), but my “Get file properties” action does not recognize it.
thank you

    For troubleshooting purposes try hard coding the name of the library in the variable.  I have several flows where the library name is stored in a string variable and then used in Get file properties. It may be that the HTTP request and the Parse JSON you are using isn't returning just the library name. It may be the full url or have a slash in front.  Compare a hard coded run with what you are seeing returned by http.

    File IDs are not identical across sites. You would need to address the file differently, for example by fetching the ID from the Graph API first.
