Hi All,
Hope everyone reading this is keeping well and healthy.
I have a Microsoft Form with 4 x Fields & 1 x Upload File option
Field 1 - Report Type
Field 2 - Product Name
Field 3 - Serial No
Field 4 - Tested By
Is there any flow which I can use to rename the uploaded file with a name which it fetches from the form itself. For example, the name to be achieved may look like "Report Type""Product Name""Serial No""Tested By"
I am not a coding expert and trying to learn this stuff. Can you advice on how I can achieve this using the automation flows?
Many Thanks to you!
Thanks. It worked for file uploads
@timtenn use “link to file” under the create file menu. You can then wrap this in basic html so it’s a friendly link rather than a full url within the emai body
@rsymmons - this is very helpful, thank you. I want to send an email with the http link to this renamed file...how/where can I reference this dynamically in a flow that is triggered by MS Forms submission? I've essentially created the exact flow as above, and I want to add another step where I send an email and include this link.

@Gautam_sehgal My pleasure glad you've got it working 🙂
@rsymmons - Thank you so much, I was creating the file incorrectly. This is done and I appreciate your support on this.
I've got the desired results.
Cheers !
Many thanks & Regards

I know that OneDrive adds the authenticated user’s email address on the end of the file uploaded. I think the only way of overwriting this would be to create the file using your own naming criteria but again this would cause issues with the file type.
for example, when creating a file under file name put field1.field2.filetype. This would hard set the filetype though so only documents of a certain type would be accepted eg PDFs
@Gautam_sehgal check the “create file” section and “file name” in the image I provided previously. This is easily done.
Hello @v-bacao-msft - Thank you for the video, it's very informative. Although I need to automate the rename process where the name is picked from the filled form.
Thank you

Hello @rsymmons
Thank you for breaking down the process for me. The flow runs successfully by now.
This is how the file name after the output looks like "Answer1,Answer2MyTestFile_Gautam Sehgal.pdf"
Is there any possibility where I can get the file name like "Person1 Jumper.pdf" which come from the form field as shown in the image below!
Many thanks
