Hi Jordy, 

 

First class support is currently in development and will be released in the near future. In the meanwhile, you can employ the following workaround. 

 

Simply type in the word Documents for the List name. This will pull in the existing column metadata for your document library. For example:

 

If you need to connect to another document library in your site. Navigate to the document library and select a particular document. Click on the Flow button and choose Create a flow. Select one of the templates from the right side pane, e.g. Complete a custom action for the selected file. This will open a new template in the Flow website. Simply copy the List Name of your document library and paste it into the SharePoint actions in your Flow.

 

 

 Thanks,

Merwan
