How to use text from "Text Input" to fill out properties in "Get File Properties" in automate?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by NickWestwood 2

I have an app which asks for several text fields to be populated before uploading a file, things like "Document ID" and "Address"

I have built a workflow to send an attachment from PowerApps to a library in SharePoint. How can I add the results from the text input fields into the file properties? I know to use the "Update file properties" step, but how do I get the results from the text fields? Do they have to be stored as separate variables in the flow first? How do I call them in automate?

    Hi @NickWestwood ,

    Assuming you are using the Power Apps V2 trigger, send them as parameters (or am I misreading this ?)
