Get Files (properties only) action is passing a null value

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by 21
I am trying to split a PDF based on the size.
I am also trying to merge the results of the split in the same flow.
 
My flow is running successfully but it only split the files but did not do any other steps (Copy & merge).
 
On looking at the logs, I found that the "Get Files (properties only)" step was passing a null value. 
As a null value is being passed the merge step is not getting successfully performed.
 
How can I resolve this so that a null value is not passed, and the actual PDF is detected.
Can anyone kindly help out with this?

    Hi,
     
    for better clarity- could you show what parameters you have passed to Get Files (properties only) action ?
     
    That would be helpful to identify why the null value is coming ?
     
    Thanks & Regards,

    Hi
     
    Please share your Flow. If you are calling Get Files, then this means your filter or your path is incorrect, 
     
    I am having a hard time reading your path as its so small and the color is umm ick ;-) for my eyes.
     
    But look at this error, then look at your SharePoint, go to the Exact location you have in the Upper message (error), and thats why. 
     
    I can read the path sort of so you should be able to see it clearly and go there and verify.
     
    That being said, you should still share your flow, because context is missing. Did you think you created a file and its not there, did you think you were going to a place that should have and you used Dynamic properties, or hard coded e
     
    etc
