Creating an attachment in SharePoint from Microsoft Forms Response - Get File Content using path not working

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 21

Hello,

I am trying to add contents and an attachment from a Form to a SharePoint list. However, the Get file content using path action in my flow is failing. The error I'm receiving says "Unauthorized" and in the file content box, I receive the following message:

 

  "status"401,
  "message""A potentially dangerous Request.Path value was detected from the client (?).",
  "source""apidod.connectorp.svc.ms"
 
The file path is as follows (minus the front of the path): 
 
sites/HSMWINGATLANTIC_Supply_Requests/Shared%20Documents/Forms/AllItems.aspx?newTargetListUrl=%2Fsites%2FHSMWINGATLANTIC%5FSupply%5FRequests%2FShared%20Documents&viewpath=%2Fsites%2FHSMWINGATLANTIC%5FSupply%5FRequests%2FShared%20Documents%2FForms%2FAllItems%2Easpx&id=%2Fsites%2FHSMWINGATLANTIC%5FSupply%5FRequests%2FShared%20Documents%2FApps%2FMicrosoft%20Forms%20Fairfax%2FVehicle%20Rental%20Request%2FSupporting%20Documents&viewid=55590b8b%2D4994%2D4e8b%2D804b%2D24f4774c21e920220815 - HSM-40 Truck Request for 15 AUG 20_Charles Power 1.pdf
 
I've also included a screenshot below. Thanks you in advance.

    I found the solution to the issue. This wasn’t working because it is a group form and form responses are sent to the group’s SharePoint site; not the user’s OneDrive. Therefore, the Get file content action should be using the SharePoint connector instead of OneDrive.
