Get file content 404 error

Posted on by 80

I'm creating a flow that converts a file to pdf and sends a notification email about it. The flow keeps throwing and error at the get file content step.  Below is my flow and  this is the error that I get: 

"status"404,
  "message""File not found

Thank you

    Before going further, I believe that you need to change your Flow to use Get file properties rather than Get Files(properties only).  You are using a For a selected item trigger - there is only 1 file.  This will eliminate your loop.

    @ScottShearer Thanks for the reply.

    Will for selected file work if multiple files are selected? There are times when many items need to be converted to pdf.

    A Flow that uses a For a selected file trigger will not allow you to select more than 1 file.
