Next step is to get the list folder Url using the SharePoint Rest API, using the ‘Send an HTTP Request to SharePoint’ action with the GET method. For example, if this flow is exported to another environment or copied to be used in a different list, the changes to the flow will be minimal, only the initial variables and the trigger, instead of updating a bunch of connectors with hard-coded values. Because the same values will be used in different connectors, it is a better practice to not let them hard-coded in the actions. In this example, variables are used to store the list title, destination folder name and the site Url. To start building the flow, the trigger used is ‘When an item is created or modified’. To better understand the following steps, knowledge on SharePoint Rest API and Flow expressions is helpful. Check if the path is actually new and if so move the item Get current item file name and the current pathĤ.
#Automize to move files to sharepoint how to#
In this post, it will be shown how to use SharePoint Rest API to move items with a Flow, so as soon as an item is created or edited, it will be moved to the right location.īasically, this Flow will do after being triggered:Ģ. This is not clear in the Microsoft documentation, but actually, the same Rest API endpoint and action that is available for files can be used for list items by using the item file property.
Even thinking about using SharePoint Rest API with the ‘Send an HTTP request to SharePoint’ connector there is no endpoint to move list items to a folder. At the moment of writing this post, there is an action to move files but nothing for list items. The first idea would be to use a Power Automate Flow to do that, but there is no out-of-the-box action that moves list items to folders. You want to move automatically all the list items with the chosen continent to the specific continent folder. Let’s say you have a SharePoint list with folders organized by continent and you have as well a choice column with the continent name in this.
