power automate that automatically fills metadata in an sharepoint library

Hi EF711,

you can create a Power Automate flow to automatically fill metadata in a SharePoint library.

Here are the general steps for making the Flow:

1. Create a new flow in Power Automate:
- Go to the Power Automate portal (flow.microsoft.com).
- Click on "Create" and select "Automated cloud flow" or "Instant cloud flow" based on your requirements.

2. Set the trigger for the flow:
- Choose the appropriate trigger based on how a new document is created in your SharePoint library. For example, you can use the "When a file is created (properties only)" trigger.

3. Retrieve the document metadata:
- Add an action to get the necessary information about the newly created document.
- Use the SharePoint connector and select the "Get file metadata" action.
- Specify the site address and file identifier to retrieve the metadata.

4. Populate the metadata fields:

- Add actions to fill in the desired metadata fields.
- Use the SharePoint connector and select the "Update file properties" action.
- Specify the site address, document identifier, and the metadata values you want to set.

5. Save and test the flow:
- Save the flow and give it a descriptive name.
- Test the flow by creating a new document in your SharePoint library and check if the metadata gets automatically filled as expected.

While these steps provide a general guideline, it's important to customize the flow according to your specific SharePoint library and metadata requirements.
