Hi, I have a flow that copies files from a OneDrive folder to SharePoint which works (first pic), but I only want it to copy files if they contain certain text in their name. I added a condition (second pic) but it didn't work. Where am I going wrong?

Hi, just tested it and got this error. The files are contained in subfolders, which worked without the expression, but obviously was returning all files. It seems it can't find the files in subfolders.

Hi @DEBS1644

You need to compare the file name by writing an expression in the condition action. Expressions are written in the expression box as highlighted in the below screenshot:

Expression used for left side operand:

contains(triggerOutputs()?['headers/x-ms-file-name-encoded'],'ESG-SF116')

Expression used for right side operand:

true

If this helps & solves your problem, please remember to give a 👍 and accept my solution as it will help others in the future.

Thanks
