I am using flow to create a file and saving to SharePoint, but my word doc template  is not being saved with a file extension.  I have another program printing when docs are added to that file, but since the file is being saved without a file extension it will not print.  HELP!!! 

 

How do I make Flow give the Word doc template a file extension when the file is being created in SharePoint????

    Hi @nmccool , you need to actually hardcode the file extension in just like below. In your case, you would need to put .docx at the end of the file name.
