Flow not works while trying to create files with dynamic filenames in MS Flow Sharepoint

Hello,

 

I have a MS Flow which not works well because it doesn't create a file with different filename. The flow creates a file in sharepoint whenever user sends email with an file attachment. I need to make that if that file already exists, need not replace but create separate file within a different filename in the Sharepoint.

    Hi @nickas ,

     

    There is an action "Move file", when file exists you can choose to replace the existing file or create a new one. So, you can create the file in a temporary folder, move it to the destination folder.

    Hope this helps.
