Hello all,

I'm looking for the file name and extension of the file I downloaded in my flow this to use later on in email attachment. Does anyone know?

In my flow you see I'm downloading the file. So I can paste the content later on, but not the name. So I need to know its extension and name.

Hi @v-xiaochen-msft
is there a way we can update the value of the field "crba2_test_file_name'? This field is not available in flow to update under 'Update a row' action.
thanks

Stumbled on this question/ solution. But you cab grab the data with the "Get record" but then you still aren't able to access the file name. I'll need to parse the JSON from the Get record and after that you are all set.

Hi @Robin1988 ,

You could use get row action to get the file name and extension.
