File Name missing from Dynamic Content

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by DaithiM 5

Hi everyone,

 

I'm having an issue creating a flow at the minute.

 

My trigger is "When a File is Created in a Folder" in SharePoint, I then want to apply a condition on the filename, but in Dynamic Content, I don't see the "File Name", only "x-ms-file-name-encoded" which isn't very useful for me.

 

Can anyone help?

    Hi @DaithiM ,

     

    If you dont need the file content/binary, you can the When a file is created (properties only) trigger as it will still allow you to specify a folder.  Even then, you can use a Get File Content by Path action afterwards.

    Alternatively, if you want to still use your existing trigger, you can use the Get File Metadata filter and pass id
