Issues with URI Encoding using Sharepoint Connector

Posted on by 6

Hello everyone!

 

I am demoing a simple flow that checks for new files in a Sharepoint folder and then writes these files into a local directory using a Gateway. The flow looks like this right now. The 'Compose' step will go once it works.

Now what happens is that if I manually enter the second input on the 'Get file contents' action using the UI, it works. However, if I copy the same string into the compose action and reference it, it does not work. I found out that the flow converts the manual string into a working format, but does not do that when copying in that same string, or referencing it via a compose.

This is what Power Automate converts it to:

  • %252fFreigegebene%2bDokumente%252fCAT%2bAX%252fD365%252fPower%2bAutomate%252fDemo%2bFile%2bTransfer%252fDualWriteInitiaSyncErrorBlob_53b9cfe1-cef0-4519-896a-7c1f328721f7_2022-10-28T08_37_01.3796797%252b00_00.txt

 

This is what any other version of that string is put in

  • Freigegebene Dokumente/CAT AX/D365/Power Automate/Demo File Transfer/DualWriteInitiaSyncErrorBlob_53b9cfe1-cef0-4519-896a-7c1f328721f7_2022-10-28T08_37_01.3796797+00_00.txt

 

I tried using EncodeUriComponent:

  • %2FFreigegebene%20Dokumente%2FCAT%20AX%2FD365%2FPower%20Automate%2FDemo%20File%20Transfer%2FDualWriteInitiaSyncErrorBlob_53b9cfe1-cef0-4519-896a-7c1f328721f7_2022-10-28T08_37_01.3796797%2B00_00.txt

 

Is there any function to have this second string transformed into that first string, / being replaced by %252f instead of %2F as seen using EncodeUriComponent()?

 

Thank you in advance for any help or guidance you can offer!

    We see similar issues  ( %252F )  in Power BI Service when using the "Chat in Teams" feature that will reference a Power BI Bookmark in a Teams channel.

    As you mentioned so far our only remedy is to remove the extra "25".
