Sharepoint Approval Flow

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 4

I am using a provided template that uses Sharepoint and Teams for approving documents.  The Sharepoint site has 3 folders in the Documents area titled:  Authored, Approved, and Denied.  I drop files into the Authored folder and that triggers the flow to begin the approval process.  The flow is working correctly but I want to modify it so that once it has been approved it will move that file into the Approved folder and likewise if it's Not Approved I want the file to be moved into the Denied folder.

 

On the surface it seems rather straight forward to do this but it's not functioning.  This is what I've got right now.

    I think you need to specify the file relative to the sharepoint site. If the file were in {Sharepoint site}/Documents/Authored the value for *File to Move would be /Shared Documents/Authored/{File Name}

    Use the file picker to select one and you'll see.  If that doesn't work, then I'll need more information, like the value of {Name} that you're using and the error received when the flow fails.

    Old approach was to get the originals file content and create a new file in the new location and then delete the old one.

     

    Now with the ability to use the move file step, you must specify the files identifier as on picture.
