Flow replace file

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 68

Hello,

 

When I build a flow to create a file once an attachment is received, sometimes the attachment names are identical and it ends up replacing the files. Is there an expression or a command where I can tell the flow to not replace a file if existing and add (2) instead?

    no @Towaiji  but you can add in the name the date and hour, then you allways get a new file. You can use this expression to do that

    formatDateTime(utcNow(),'yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss')
