Hey all, Sorry for such a long post.
I work in manufacturing, and I am coming from WinAutomation, so I am not too familiar with the ins and outs of Power Automate. I am hoping this community can help me and give me guidance on simplifying or reworking steps in my flow to make it easily understandable and more efficient.
As you can see in the first picture >> a PDF triggers the flow >> get the contents of the PDF >> Call a child flow. The child flow extracts the contents of an XML file that is in a different directory but associated with the PDF that triggered the flow. It returns JSON that provides details about the production page and each image that is on the page.

As highlighted in the orange rectangle in the first image, there is an image on the page where the name starts with “Nested Wood”. See, I have learned to nest images inside of other images to make better use of our material and the software I am using also creates an XML file for those nested images.
Below, I filter all the normal images on the page from the “Stamp Info” array and store them in the Image List Variable.
Then, I filter the same array but only if it contains the string “Nested Wood”.
Picture_2
Just like at the beginning of the flow, I have to send each of the “Nested Wood” images through the same Child flow to extract the XML content.
Picture_3
Then I loop through each image within each “Nested Wood” and add that Image to the Image List Variable.
Picture_4
After those steps I have all the info I need, and I will add that info to a share point list next.
Before I do that though I am here to see if I can cut down on actions or if there are any other functions within expressions that I may use to tidy up the process.
I am sorry for such a long post, but I wanted to be detailed enough so that it could be understood.
Thanks in advance for the help and having me in the community.
