Posted on by 228

Hi,

 

I would like to ask how to make flow that if file already exists in Sharepoint, then create file with a prefix, for example, timestamp with filename. I created flow, it run without errors, but it didn't create file within prefix. How to resolve this issue?

 

Here is a screenshot of flow:

Here step in order to create a file with prefix (timestamp)

Unfortunately, file wasn't created.

    Hello @nickas  ,

    the most important part of the flow is missing on the screenshots - the Filter Query to find the file by the name. It should be as below:

    FileLeafRef eq '<FileNameWithExtension>'
