Problem build the approval flow and attach files.

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

I do an approval flow when uploading files into a folder. However, there is a problem when using the "When a file is created (properties only)" trigger, the "Get File Content" dynamic content that is used for attaching files is missing. But if the "When a file is created in a folder (deprecated)" trigger is used, there will be "Get File Content" dynamic content, but not "Link to item" dynamic content.
I will need to use "Link to item" for file verification before I press approve. And must use "Get File Content" for attaching the forwarded file when press to approve.

    Hi @SPNON 

     

    Here is the sample flow.

     

    I have taken example of "When a file is created (properties only)" trigger. You need add "Get file content" action to get the file content. Pass the 'Identifier' property from the output of trigger:

    The output of "Get file content" will give you the content of file.

     

     

     

    If this helps & solves your problem, please remember to give a 👍 and accept my solution as it will help others in the future.
