I am glad to join Power Automate community.

in the past three weeks, I was trying to create a cloud flow and this flow will be as follow.

for every single channel post created and its replies, if there is an attachment.

in SharePoint those all attachment in that post should be in one single folder that will have the same name as the subject of the post.

for Example

Channel posted and reply

In SharePoint this is what happened

what I want your help with is for this to happen and this is what I want.

please if my explanations is not understood let me know, so i can try to explain it more clearly.

sincerely,

Dossary007

Hey

As you mentioned, I just want to clarify that files added to posts are automatically uploaded to the corresponding SharePoint Folder of the relevant Teams Channel. Therefore, files posted to the General Channel in Teams are automatically hosted at '/Shared Documents/General' in SharePoint.

This means, we simply need to create a folder with the Title of the post and then move the file(s) in there.

That can be done like this:

Breakdown of the actions:

Condition:
Condition expression:
length(item()?['attachments'])

Create new folder action:

Apply to each action:

Move file action:
Move file "File to Move" dynamic content:

/Shared Documents/General/@{item()?['name']}

Move file "Destination Folder" dynamic conte:

Let's test it:

Post in Teams:

SharePoint:

Successful Flow:

Here's the full flow in the classic designer because i hate the new one:

Cheers
