PowerApps: Take a Photo, add metadata and upload to SharePoint Doc Library

How to get a photo and some associated metadata from PowerApps into a SharePoint Document (or Picture) Library via Flow (required to change the format of the photo for SharePoint compatibility).

    PowerApps: Take a Photo, add metadata and upload to SharePoint Doc Library

    Well this one I might be able to help with.  I am doing something similar where I use a PowerApp to take the pic and collect data and the use flow to upload the picture.  See Shane Young's video here as he does a great job explaining it:

    https://youtu.be/ovLIwnj6QjU .  One thing to note is that the picture is a png file not a jpg though.  Not sure how to switch that either (in my case didn't care).

     

    Only problem I am having now is with offline mode.  When offline and using the app it works as I save to a collection but once it comes back online then the flow won't trigger.  I get a "connection not configured for this service" error on the flowname.run command.

    Try directly typing the name of the library rather than choosing it from the list.

    Hi,

    I can only connect to lists and not document libraries, in the connection tab , the search results do not show doc librarires. Is there some setting that I need to change to enable it?

     

    Please advise!

    Thanks!
