Create new file when new item added to SharePoint List

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 193

Hello,

 

I've set up the following flow to create a new file (using a template) when a new item has been added to a SharePoint list but its not creating a usable file. Could someone advise where I've gone wrong with the below? 

 

Many thanks in advance

    Hi @shelleyb 

    Please try to pass Static name in create file Action for example Test.xlsm and then verify I think you are trying to pass invalid or Empty value in Name field of create file Action which you select dynamically.
