How to set "File Name" property on "Create File" SharePoint action dynamically

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Ali .NET

Hello,

I have created a flow with a CDS trigger When a record is selected. In this trigger I have a user input of type File. Below the trigger I have a SharePoint action to Create File.

 

I need to set the File Name property of Create File action to the file name of the file that user would select. I tried Dynamic Content pane but no luck.  Can we have any workaround to get this done?

    HI @KAL 

     

    To get the file name you can add a text input and ask user to add file name. 

    here is an example:

    Hi @KAL 

     

    You can get the filename using the below expression

    triggerBody()['file']['name']
     
    For the file content you need the following
    triggerBody()['file']['contentBytes']
