Can't add attachment(s) from Microsoft Forms to folder created in workflow

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 29

Hi! I am having trouble creating a folder and adding a new file to it in the same workflow. What I am trying to do is get submitted attachments from a Microsoft Form and then create a new folder in SharePoint. From there I want the attachments to be added to the new folder so that I can get a link to that folder to add to a SharePoint list. I want a link to the folder instead of adding them as attachments to the SharePoint list so that people can view the attachments (which will be images or videos) in their browser instead of having to download them as attachments from the SharePoint list. 

 

I am able to get the attachments to an already created folder in SharePoint but whenever I try to automatically create a new folder and then add the attachments to that newly created folder, I always get an error that the workflow could not find the new folder.

 

Thanks!

    Hi @Koko56 

     

    On the Folder path for your create file action, have you tried using the Folder Name instead of the ID?

     

    Best Regards,

    Yes, that worked!
