Creating an item in a document library

Posted on by Jobojatdh

Hello to all,

I am posting this message today to ask for your help.

Indeed, I have a problem with my flow.

I try to create an item in a document library. I understood that it was impossible to add an item to a document library without an attachment (SPFileCollection.Add() error). However, there is no other way around it? It is impossible to add an item with an attachment with power automate?

Thanks in advance.

All you need is a file name and file content. Can you explain a little more about your requirement? Where is the file coming from?

Re: Creating an item in a document library

Sorry if I wasn't clear enough.

I have a first list that contains fields and an attachment.

When editing one of the items (when the status becomes "pending"), I would like to create a copy of this item in a document library with different fields and a PDF conversion of the images (attachments). I have everything I need to create an item in my document library, but I don't know how to do it.

After creating the PDF, use a OneDrive for Business Get file Content action. Use that as the input for the SharePoint Create File action.

Ok I just understood...
In my case, I have to create a file and then modify it to assign the different fields. Thanks for the help !
