Hello Flow Builders !
I am totally new to Power Automate and the logic of the tool. I managed to create a workflow to save an attachment from SFDC that is sent through Outlook and place the file in Sharepoint/Onedrive. That works great ! What I am lacking is i need the attached file to be saved to a standard filename in Sharepoint so I can use other automation tools from Smartsheet. The SFDC file name increments on on the calendar date MMDDYY. I'd like that filename to be a standard name when saved in Sharepoint.
Here is a print of the workflow that was created:
Step 1: ID the Recipient of the file and Unique string in Subject:
Step 2: Filter passthru
Step 3 : Using 'From' email address to further filter message selection.
Step 4: Create File - Send to Site Address / Folder Path - Apply Filename.
(( tried an expression below to force a rename but it didnt work, still got the original SFDC filename in Sharepoint)
I had also tried a generic 'testfile.xlsx' filename to replace the field below, still didnt work.
I believe perhaps another Condition needs to be added before or after the Create File condition.
Would appreciate a clear explanation of what I need to do as I'm still just learning the logic, the options and sequence of this platform.
Thank you!

Hi @Anonymous ,
Could you please share more details about your scenario? Could you explain more on the second step where initializing the variable with a false value then compare to true value within a Condition control? I see your note one the initialize variable, however, there is not a set variable control to update the variable. The flow will only run into the false parallel of the condition and save the file with its original name.
Best regards,
