Posted on by JP.Charlets

Hello,

For a selected item in a SharePoint list, we would like to add a file when the user selects the item with a Flow button:

I found a way to add the file content, but what about the file name?

Here are some snapshots of the Flow:

1. Where the user will add the file:

2. When the file attached in the list item - how do I get the file name here?

Thank you

Re: Get file name for a selected item

Hi @JPC ,

I believe attach CRM Content is something like a browse button and select the file. Why not pass the filename at the same time? Where you running the flow from?

Thanks

Hello,

Thank you for this. I have added this in the Flow.
By the way, do you know how to handle this with several files?

Re: Get file name for a selected item

In between, I found a way to analyse the formatting of the different files by adding the following in Flow:
When running this Flow, I was able to extract the information to be completed in the following stages in order to extract the file names (first file is 'file', second is 'file_1',...)

In my Flow, the first file is mandatory, others are optionals (content is checked):
