Hi everyone,

I want to make a flow which could run on several libraries because is a complex flow and users ask frequently for modify/improve it.

My flow is the same on all libraries , only library name is different, so i don't want to duplicate it.

How to get the library name from the trigger "For a selected file"?

first i think use the "itemurl "proprety because it look like "SiteUrl/Libraryname/....".

But i don't understand why, the itemurl change after severals runs and don't have anymore library name but look like "site/_ layout/15/Doc.aspx?sourcedoc=%00000%7D&action=edit&uid=%xxxxx%7D&ListItemId=419&ListId=%yyyyyy%7D&odsp=1&env=prod".

Do you know why the itemUrl has changed? or how to get library name ?

Thanks a lot for your hep& best regards

P.s : sorry if my english is not good/ fluent.

Françoise

There is no way to make a flow that will run on multiple libraries. You can make a flow on a single library and then make a copy and edit it to point at a different library. But since triggers are library specific you'll need one copy for each library.

In the meantime is there any way to solve the problem? Because I am facing the same problem?

AS I said, you can't create a flow that will run on multiple libraries. You can create a flow for a library, then make a copy by Exporting it or SaveAs and change the copy to work with a different library. But every library will need its own copy of the flow with its own trigger.
