Change Folder Path in Create File

(0) Share

Report

Posted on by SamGreen

I am creating an approval flow that creates a PDF file on approval.

The library that I have the flow running in has multiple folders. All files to be approved are in one of many preaprroved folders. libraryX/.../.../.../preapproved

Convert word to PDF is used, then create file but I do not want to specify the folder here as there are multiple options.

libraryX/UK/London/east/preapproved must go to libraryX/UK/London/east/approved

libraryX/UK/London/west/preapproved must go to libraryX/UK/London/west/approved

I guess I am looking for an expression that will check the previous files folder but am new to Power Automate so would be grateful if someone could give me some guidance please.

I also want to copy all the SharePoint properties of the original file to the new file and it's folder.

thanks in advance.

Hi @SamGreen ,

You could use replace() function to update the folder path.

replace('libraryX/UK/London/east/preapproved','preapproved','approved')

Thank you for your reply. The create file is within a yes condition so I couldn't add the variable above it. I tried adding it before an approval request before the condition but get an error of Root folder is not found. In the value I only entered /preapproved because the previous folders will vary.

I have this condition in "When a new email arrives in a shared mailbox (V2)->Subject Filter"
@or(contains(triggerBody()?['Subject'],'EDI Auto Save: S/R error rpt (to: \zSendReceive Rpt'),
contains(triggerBody()?['Subject'],'EDI_Rpt UnAckd txns rpt')

In the same flow I want to save each of those files to a different network directory based on the subject.
Can I use a similar condition in "Apply to each->Create file->Folder path" to create a different path for each?

Here's the whole thing so far...
I need to change the directory path based on the same subject condition I added in the "Subject Filter" above.

I'd appreciate any help!
