Get File Metadata - File not found

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 2

Hello,

I am more than certain I am missing a very obvious step so hoping someone can help.

I have a flow which triggers on (Sharepoint) "When a file is created or modified (properties only)", yet next action (Sharepoint) "Get File metadata" says the file is not found, it is using the ID found by the trigger, file hasn't gone anywhere. Does anyone know why the next step cannot see the file?

No idea why but I cannot insert the snip I have taken on here.

 

Thanks.

    You don't show how you have the get file metadata action configured, but you need to use the file identifier value from the trigger in the configuration:
