Sharepoint file get email adress of creator as well as name of document etc.

Dear Flow Community, 

 

I am new to Flow and I am currently struggling with a problem. 

 

I am using a sharepoint folder and everytime somebody drops a document into it, an approval process should be started. 

In the following process I need: the name of the document, the emailadress of the file creator, the name of the person who created the file, the document content (later on I want to move the document to a different folder after a successful approval process).

 

In order to get the emailadress I started off using "When a file is created (only properties)" and got the email adress and the name of the creator. 

in order to get the rest of the information I tried to connect another trigger "When a file is created in a folder" after the first one.

 

But this constellation does not work.. my flow is not "flowing" 😉 

 

My questions is now: How do I get the email adress and name of the creator of the file as well as all the other information of this file? Is there a Flow element which I can use? How do I build this? 

 

Best regards

Felix

    Hi @Anonymous,

     

    This information can be obtained in a single flow.

    Just use the corresponding Dynamic content.

    Hi Barry,

     

    thank you very much for your help! 

     

    "Get file content" worked perfectly for me.

     

    "File name with extension" also works now... I probably configured something wrong 😉 

     

    Best regards

    Felix
