Search file in sharePoint and reply with sharepoint link

Hi Guys,

I'm struggling (newbee) at the moment figuring out how can I build the flow correctly. Here is the UseCase :

An user is having a problem with his password, he comes to PVA bot in Teams and says "how can i reset my password", the bot takes the user input and search in a specific folder then extract the file URL OR the content inside and reply " here are all the steps that you need".

he will understand the user input as there is a topic that i've created and trained called "password assistance"

Can you please tell me if its possible and if yes, how can i build this flow step by step.

Thank you very much for your time !!!

Thanks Bryan. This has been resolved. I created a different flow instead of what i have and it works fine. thanks for your support. I appreciate your time answering my questions.

Alright, I replicated the steps of the flow, and the one thing that I noticed was different between yours and the one that was eventually made to work earlier in the topic is that in your "Filter Array" action, you are comparing the dynamic value of "Title" to "Document Name", instead of comparing "Name" to "Document Name". Could you do me a favor and remove the "Title" value, and select "Name" from the list instead, and then try to run the Flow again?

Hi Bryan, there is no multiple title inside the folder. Please see the image below. Let's say i need to show the link of "School note.pdf". The PVA flow is not working.

Alright, that clears things up a bit. Just to check, is the test input you are using for the flow contained within multiple document titles? Because as written, if there is ever more than a single valid answer, all the files that contain that test input in any way will be added.

Could I also see the PVA side of things for this? It may help me to figure out what is going funny, if the above is not the case.

Hi Bryan.

After Filter Array > i just added "Append to string variable" but it keeps wrapping that function into "Apply to Each" so i am unable to just add "Append to string variable" alone.

After that, the flow keeps showing ALL the links not just the single string that i need.

I'm sorry, it's a bit unclear what's happening. If you just do an Append to String Variable action, without putting it inside of an Apply to Each action, and removing the existing Apply to Each action, what occurs?

@echodapogi,

Have you tried doing it without an "Apply to Each"? It may be iterating through the list multiple times, rather than just appending the one link you want to the string variable.

Hope this helps!
