Building a Flow to Obtain Username

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hi everyone, I am trying to build a flow for when a user submits a file into onedrive, it'll generate the file name and the user name of who submitted it into an excel sheet. I was wondering if someone could help me with that. Thanks!

    The Flow would look something like this: OneDriveCreateListItem.png

    The OneDrive for Business Connector provides a File name and Last modified by dynamic parameter that you can call to track who uploaded the items. You can track it in an Excel spreadsheet as well, but I do not recommend using Excel due to it's severe limitations.
