Flow Action - Convert Word Document to PDF
I'm trying to use the Convert Word Document to PDF action in a Flow. There are three parameters that have to be entered: Location - the SharePoint Site Document Library - Library where the document is located. File - The document to convert The parameter that I'm having an issue with is the File. The flow works if I choose the specific document from the library but I want it to be dynamic so that when the user starts a Flow on the document it will convert that one, so I don't want to hardcode the document name. For the File property I'm using the property from a previous step with the file name called File name with extension. When I run the flow I get an error, "There was an error accessing the file. Please try again or select a different file." Can I not use dynamic content for the File property? Thanks

SharePoint site news notifications in Microsoft Teams channel
Dear Microsoft community, we are desperately trying to solve the issue since Microsoft stopped supporting the SharePoint News connector. We were trying to use the workaround that MS proposed but it's just not working. Can someone help me to setup a workflow that is posting the recent news in our news channel so that colleagues can start conversations about it? Thanks. Best PhilSharepoint files and folders created with Power Automate do not sync to desktop (OneDrive)
I created a folder, and file within it, with Power Automate and it shows up in Sharepoint but does not (ever?) sync to the desktop. If I use Power Automate to create folderA/folderB/file.txt It will not sync by itself "after a while" - where "a while" is exceeding the utility of automating it (I did not test longer periods of time) It will not sync if you create things in OneDrive that sync properly It will not sync if you press the sync button in Sharepoint it WILL sync if you create FolderA in OneDrive (as in, it will sync folderB/file.txt) it WILL sync if you create anything directly on the Sharepoint site
Flow with for a selected file trigger does not appear for some users
I have a flow with the trigger "For a selected file" and I can see it by clicking on its three dot menu and then going down to power automate and seeing it as one of the options. My users who have full control of the site and are the ones I am developing the flow for say they do not get this option in the power automate menu. Is there something else I need to do for them to see it?
SharePoint/Power Automate Issue
I am the IT Manager for a small business. I was told that SharePoint can be used as a ticketing system, if set up properly. I have actually gotten it to work, but here is the issue. We have 2 email domains, one is MSI and the other is @asc*. When I send an email to the latter, it works but if I send it from an msi email, it does not work at all. Is there a setting or something someone can point me to or do I somehow have to make 2 different flows in order to get this to work. Any help is appreciated Don MurraySharepoint list not refreshing after flow writes info.
Hi, I'm not sure if this is a bug or just a feature that's not currently supported, but when a flow updates a SharePoint list, the list does not get refreshed. What I mean is that the user will need to manually refresh a browser tab (f5) in order to have the information presented on the screen. On the other hand, if two users simultaneously update the SharePoint list via classic list edit means, the information automatically refreshes, no need to refresh browser tab. Is there a workaround or settings that I'm not aware of maybe? Cheers
ODATA Filter Query not valid when it should be
Hi, I’m deeply confused with Power Automate Get Items ODATA Filter Queries. They are completely illogical. With one choice column called “Status”, it works absolutely fine. With another choice column called “Sway Status” on the same list, it errors every single valid Filter Query I give it. > The syntax is correct, it is identical syntax to the one that works. > It recognises the column exists, otherwise it prints a different error along the lines of “The column may have been removed” when it can’t find the column > I have tried quote escaping. Doesn’t work The experimental feature to simplify filter queries isn’t there anymore, so I’m stuck with these queries that seem to only work if you’re lucky and the winds blowing in the right direction. Please help.PowerApp forms get stuck on "Getting your data..."
Some, but not all of my SharePoint Forms that are built using PowerApps are getting stuck saying (Getting your data...". The strange thing is that sometimes the data will load then this will happen, or I can click out of the form and reopen it and then it will work. Anyone experiencing a similar issue?
