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:
This is what any other version of that string is put in
I tried using EncodeUriComponent:
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".
