First App (Power Apps / Sharepoint) - Question

(0) Share

Report

Posted on by Titus77

I'm beginning with Power Apps / Power Automate and I have a question with my first APP.

I want to create a simple APP where I upload a file in an attachment control then I click on a button ant it uploads the file on a sharepoint site.

- I created a sharepoint site called Site Test

- then an APP with a attachment control called "AttachmentControl"

- the property "OnSelect" of my button has value:

And finally a power automate flow called "SaveImageToSharePoint"

It works but the file that I upload is saved with name "test.pdf" on the sharepoint site.
How can I change the flow in order to keep the original name of the file I'm uploading and not "test.pdf"?

Hi @Titus77 ,

The file name can be as below (assuming you are sending the attachment Table to the Flow)

that's how I send it :

OnSelect Property of the button:

SaveImageToSharePoint.Run({
file:{
contentBytes:First(AttachmentControl.Attachments).Value;
name:First(AttachmentControl.Attachments).Name
}
}
)
;;Reset(AttachmentControl)

SaveImageToSharePoint is the name of my flow

@Titus77 ,

I assume you made the code an expression ? The Table code is how I do mine (and that is a Prod Flow I posted) and it works as expected.

@WarrenBelz Thanks but I don't understand what you mean : I assume you made the code an expression ?

The code above is the value of the OnSelect Property of my "Upload file" button.
I'm just looking which value to put in "Nom de fichier" field.
I tried to put value "file.name"but it does not work. So something is missing but I don"t know what.

@Titus77 ,

The code in the picture I sent needs to be an Expression (second tab in the right box) and should look like mine when saved.

@WarrenBelz Here is the code (second tab):

{
    "inputs": {
        "host": {
            "connectionName": "shared_sharepointonline",
            "operationId": "CreateFile",
            "apiId": "/providers/Microsoft.PowerApps/apis/shared_sharepointonline"
        },
        "parameters": {
            "dataset": "https://trc2d.sharepoint.com/sites/SiteTest",
            "folderPath": "/TestLib",
            "name": "file.name",
            "body": "@triggerBody()['file']['contentBytes']"
        },
        "authentication": "@parameters('$authentication')"
    },
    "runtimeConfiguration": {
        "contentTransfer": {
            "transferMode": "Chunked"
        }
    },
    "metadata": {
        "operationMetadataId": "e7c92881-d24d-4c0d-9792-489a667620d0"

@Titus77 ,

The issue is in the Flow, not in Power Apps - the name simply needs to be an Expression as I posted
