Sending file from OneDrive to SharePoint

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

I created a PowerApp+flow system that does the following:

1. Submit a form on PowerApps that triggers flow1

2. flow1 converts the content of the form to a pdf and saves it to the user's OneDrive

3. flow2 detects the file creation and copies the file to a SharePoint folder.

It works for me just fine, but only completes step 2 for other users I'm testing it with. flow2 does not fire for other users, which tells me it's not detecting the pdf creation in their OneDrives (checked flow2's run history). Is there a way to get it to detect file creation for other users?

Hi @Anonymous

I believe you are using your own credentials for flow2 (as its not associated with powerapps) that is why it can only detect the creation in your OneDrive.

You need to share those flows with the users and then need to authenticate one time with their email so the flow can get access to their one drive.

I've shared it with a tester, they're able to edit it, look around in it, but it never asked them to authenticate their credentials, and It's still not running for them.

Its because when you shared the flow, you actually granted the flow to use the same credential.
When you share this specific flow, ask the users to go to OneDrive connection and add a new connection with their credentials.

the reason for that is simple, The connection uses the email addresses to login into One Drive so if you have shared the flow with someone the flow will still be using old credentials and will be looking at One Drive that is associated with that email account.

Okay, they've added themselves to all of the OneDrive connectors, switched to their accounts and saved, and it's still not working.
It'as actually caused the connectors to say that I've got the invalid connection and I've had to re-enable my account for them.
I've actually managed to combine flows1 and 2 into one now, and for the other user, it fails at the last step, sending the PDF to SharePoint.
