SharePoint 2013 not providing Identifier

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hi guys, I'm trying to use the trigger for files within a library because I have a lot of subfolders.

Usually I would resolve this by using the Identifier to get file metadata and content.

However, my client is using SP 2013, on prem and I'm only receiving internal ItemID, not the identifier. It's driving me crazy, I'm not getting anywhere with locating the file. Does anyone know why SP 2013 wouldn't have the identifier?

    Hi @Anonymous,

     

    Could you please provide the Body of trigger?

     

    Since the SharePoint client may not provide Identifier to use, we can find out if there are properties that can be utilized instead of Identify in the return value of trigger.

     

    Or you can use the ID to get file path, then utilize file path to get file content and metadata.Annotation 2019-06-28 143154.png

    Hi, here is the trigger.

    The issue is that I'm not getting file path or file name either. Perhaps this has something to do with SharePoint setup...

    However, in SP I can see these normally:

    Hi @Anonymous,

    Could you please provide the Body of trigger after a run?

    Please keep out of the key information.

    Hi @Anonymous,

     

    I can see the property of the trigger body that can be used is only ID.

    What will you get back from Action "Get file properties"?

    Hi,
    An error. It's an ID, not Identifier

    Hi @Anonymous,

     

    Can you test if you can get the GUID via a REST request?
