I have Created a flow to grab attachments from a list item and create a folder and put the attachments in the folder. I have been able to put the attachments in the folder, but i am having trouble creatin a url to attach back to the list form.

I know it is a deeplink but I can't get the link to work. I get a 404 error.

this is the code to create the folder link in a compose

concat('https://bryonline.sharepoint.com/sites/App/Attachments/',triggerBody()?['ID'],'-',triggerBody()?['Title'],'/Forms/AllItems.aspx')
 
Does anybody have any experience with this.

You're on the right track with using a concat() expression to build a deep link to the SharePoint folder, but the 404 error suggests that the URL you're generating might not match the actual folder path or structure in SharePoint.

Let’s troubleshoot and refine your approach.

✅ What to check:

1. Folder Path Accuracy

Your current expression:

concat('https://bryonline.sharepoint.com/sites/App/Attachments/',triggerBody()?['ID'],'-',triggerBody()?['Title'],'/Forms/AllItems.aspx')
This assumes the folder is located at:
https://bryonline.sharepoint.com/sites/App/Attachments/{ID}-{Title}/Forms/AllItems.aspx

But SharePoint folder URLs are case-sensitive and space-sensitive, and the folder name might not match exactly if:

Title contains spaces or special characters.

The folder was created with a different naming convention.

✅ Fix: Use encodeUriComponent() for safety

Try this instead:

concat(

  'https://bryonline.sharepoint.com/sites/App/Attachments/',

  triggerBody()?['ID'],

  '-',

  encodeUriComponent(triggerBody()?['Title']),

  '/Forms/AllItems.aspx'

)

This ensures that any spaces or special characters in the title are properly encoded.

🔍 Alternative: Use SharePoint's Path or Link to item

If you're creating the folder using a SharePoint action like Create folder, you can often get the folder's path directly from the output of that action. Look for:

Path

Link to item

Folder URL

You can then use that directly or append /Forms/AllItems.aspx to it.

🧪 Test the URL

Paste the generated URL into your browser and:

Check if it redirects to the folder.

If not, try removing /Forms/AllItems.aspx and just use the folder path.

Hi @Trout19

Question: I do not see a file extension in the above. Does Title have that?

Can you do this.

1) Go into the flow, grab the output of your concat

2) Go into SharePoint, go to the folder where the files are, please copy the URL above (dont open any files)

3) share a picture of the Folder with the files in it please.

Just paste the pictures in here

My assumption is your URL is incorrect, but need a way to verify that by looking at them.

If these suggestions help resolve your issue, Please consider Marking the answer as such and also maybe a like.

Thank you!
Sincerely, Michael Gernaey
