Using power automate to update a sharepoint list item

Hi,

I've created a sharepoint list and I have a flow that automatically creates a new sharepoint folder when a new item is added to the sharepoint list.  

 

I now want to get the flow to generate a link to the folder that has been created and add it back into the new item that was added in the sharepoint list.

 

However I can't work out how to make the flow look for the list item that was just created to add the information back into - the ID field in the update item connector

 

Any ideas?

 

thank you.

    Thanks for solving this.  I'm now trying to add in two elements from my list to make my folder name in sharepoint.  I've amended the flow as follows:

    This creates the folder I want but also creates a second folder with just one of the entries.  Can I make it just make one folder with both entries?

    Thank you.
