How to just get the first file in a folder

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

Hi all,

 

I'm trying to update a file using the first file in a different folder but unsure about how to grab that first file as it changes everyday in our business. Essentially, we have a current.pdf file that will display a report that is run everyday. Each day, there is a job that moves the report into a file on sharepoint and the goal is to update the current.pdf file with the new file that is added to the folder.

    Below is how I did on mine, since a new file always gets downloaded in the Downloads folder so I just launch and open the 1st file with reference to "Files [0]".  Hope this helps.

    Hi @jakehardy95 ,

    I created a flow that will be executed at eight o'clock in the morning on weekdays in the Eastern District.

    It can obtain the contents of the latest uploaded file in the specified folder.

    Please check this test:
