Power automate NOT find my file on Sharepoint with query filter

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by frixel 1,089
Hello,
 
I try to create a power automate with a condition to find if the file exist. 
I found that i can use the query filter " FileLeafRef eq " for that, but if you see the flow gives alway a False back.
 
What do i wrong?

    You should check the outputs of the "Get items" in the flow runs.
     
    Two reasons come to mind spontaneously:
    • The file isn't there ;)
    • If you have several files with this name (in sub folders), the length is not 1. Check the Get file's "Include nested items".
    Furthermore, in such cases it is often better to check whether the length is greater than 0.
