Hi All, 
 
I have built a powerapp that patches back to a microsoft list. I'd like to create a flow that looks at the site name that and finds the folder in my onedrive with the same name, inside that folder i have several other folders, i'd like it to look up the service name which there will be a folder with the same name. I'd then like all the image attachments stored in there. Is this possible? and how would i do it? I'm not great at flows so if you can make the instructions as simple as possible, it would be much appreciated!
 
Thanks in advance!

    Yes but like your other posts there are some important details missing.
     
    I have built a powerapp that patches back to a Microsoft list.
     
    I'd like to create a flow that looks at the site name that and finds the folder in my onedrive with the same name
    --what is the format of the string for this. Just saying site name isn't enough
    --as a standard also you can also use SharePoint actions just as well as OneDrive for Business, same back end same difference
     
    inside that folder i have several other folders,
    --So your site name and the folder name is the same? No spaces in the folder name, exact same format, completely every time?
     
    i'd like it to look up the service name which there will be a folder with the same name.
    --look it up from where? What does this mean? I do not see a service name in your picture, so cannot tell you how to do a lookup to find this string
     
    I'd then like all the image attachments stored in there.
    --This is no issue
     
    --Is it always those 12 columns of images? Are they blank sometimes?
     
    Is this possible? and how would i do it? I'm not great at flows so if you can make the instructions as simple as possible, it would be much appreciated!
     
    -- Are you looking to save these from 1 or more Records in your Power Apps, or are you exporting it at the same you want to save it in Power Apps?
     
    Really would help to have a super clear, step by step expectation starting from the App, because you may not need to pass this stuff to Power Automate, but have an automated flow, you may need to pass it.
     
    If you can please answer the questions we can get you going pretty easily.
