Hello @Bill51106

Could you give a more detailed explanation about your problem? Where is the problem? In extracting the URL, or in the create file in SharePoint?
Regards,

Ferran

@fchopo I will explain my best, this all new to me.

I successfully parsed the url, no problem. If I take that URL and paste it in to a web browser I can download the file. It does have 3 redirects though.

In my flow, the 2nd step HTTP, I keep getting the previous 302 error. I would assume it is because of the redirects?

Yes! I think that in this situation, maybe the best solution is using Power Automate Desktop (although I'm not an expert on that).

Hope it helps!

That is not an option at this time. Thank you though.

Hi @Bill51106,

You could try and use the location of the 302 response and use that for another http action. Via this expression:

actions('HTTP').outputs.headers.Location

I have written a short blog about that:
