Save form attachments in SharePoint List/Documents

Posted on by kylevallentine

Hello,

Trying to make it so that an uploaded file on a form is deposited to an attachments column or to a dedicated documents site (preferably) that exists on a SharePoint.

I am having trouble with my flow in that I can't figure out how to "get the file". Please see the below flow. This SharePoint site has permissions for access, but any organization individual can fill out the form/upload data. Any help would be much appreciated!!!

***the info in "file path" is what I copied from seeing online through other videos and research. It doesn't seem to like that path when testing the flow.

I am getting an error that the JSON format is not right. I copied the file name and generated the JSON code. I made the form a group form, but still am having issues getting the attachment to save in sharepoint and not have to pull from personal one drives.

Hi @kylevallentine

If you want to save Form attachments in SharePoint Library, you can get the file content of the uploaded file by id from Parse JSON action, then add create file action to create a new file in the specified folder.

I set up a flow, you can refer to:

Hope the content above may help you.
