Posted on by KB-12112000-0

Hi, I am hoping for some help in creating the following:

When a file is created in a folder, if the file name contains "report" move to another folder. My set-up is below and i receive the following error. Please note, i have also tried adding a condition but it seems to always yield FALSE even if the file has "report" in the name.

You need to reference an actual property of the trigger.

Put a compose underneath the trigger and look at the names of the properties

@contains(triggerOutputs()?['headers/x-ms-file-name-encoded'],'Report')

Sorry for the confusion!

You don't need to leave the compose action there, compose is just a handy method to get a peak at the output properties of any action above it.

You just select the property into your compose, then you can copy and paste it into the expression editor, or a notepad or text app on your compture.

Hope that helps
