Hello

 

I've just started using Flow. 

 

I'm trying to create a flow that triggers on a new file add to a document library. When the file is added I need to read custom properties from that file, for example Customer or Project. Based on this the document is moved to a specific document library somewhere else in the site collection.

 

My challenge is that the New file created-action only returns a very limited set of metadata proerties which does not include custom properties.

 

Is there any way that I can access these, or will there be in the future?

    Hi Twn,

     

    When a flow is triggered by “when a file is created”, in the followed Condition or Action, it seems that we can only select “File content”, “File content type”, “File entity tag”, “File identifier”, “File name” and “File path” from the outputs. There is no output about Custom properties. You could submit a flow idea about this issue at “Flow Ideas”.

     

    This is the link of “Flow Ideas”:

    Best regards,
    Mabel Mao
