Hi there.

I have a huge problem in understanding Flow. Well, not Flow in general but in creating the steps.Or better: in drifting into the creation.... perhaps you do understand better if I describe:

I need to create a flow that extracts the path of a newly created or modified file and send it to someone, to create a sharepoint list, or whatelse.

Normaly in programming I would do it a little bit like a Flow. Trigger: file created. -> get path from file -> send path

Now I try to do exactly this and as I get ist from the documentation and the tutorial, this should work.

Well, in creating the Flow now starts the Problem.

I chose the trigger and gave it the needed data to find the library on which it should trigger.

Than I wanted to "create a new element". In the parameters I can choose my Sharepoint list OR I can choose dynamic content, Path in this case.

And that's my problem now. Somehow I didn' really got the concept, where the hell now the data is coming from, how to choose it and/or how to put it somewhere. In this case, if i would choose dynamic contend and then Path - I am on have the Step "create element" - but I can't tll it WHERE... The other way around I can tell this step WHERE, but not WHAT.

I tried to figure this out by using some of the templates but that didn't worked.

Could someone please give me the steps to do this and than there might come a lot of questions, too. How do I get WHERE, WHAT together.

Thanks in advance,

Mia
