Posted on by JB2511 2

Hello 

 

I try to write an automated flow in which it should search in a given path on onedrive the specific weeknumber 

Files are word files and syntax of the name contains YEAR and Weeknumber eg. 202251

 

For the given weeknumber based on the day of the flow it should go and look for the given file (note there is only one file in the folder which will be named xxxxxx202251.docx 

 

Then this file should consequently be attached to the email 

 

Can someone help me pls ?
