Creating a PDF from a List and matching the List Name

Posted on by Filippo0083

Hi All,

I created a Power Automate flow to generate a PDF file from a SharePoint List automatically.

I am using the Encodian PDF converter.
Is there a way to match the PDF Filename with the List Name?

I have tried several expressions and functions in the PDF Filename to automatically read the List Name and apply it to the output filename, including concat, but without success..

Thanks!

Hi @Filippo0083 ,

Try extracting list name from path:
reverse(split(outputs('Get_items')?['body/value'][0]?['{Path}'],'/'))[1]

I have one question though... The file name automatically adds a 1 at the end of the file name.
Is there a way to avoid that and have only the List name?

Thanks!

Hi @Filippo0083 ,

This didn't happen to me in my test. If that's the case, you can strip the last character in the resulting string to get a substring as the name.
