  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

    Create a conditional branch depending on custom Attribute in a document library.
    
    Thanks in advance if You Can clarify the necessary steps for this.

Is this feature (i.e. support for Document metadata in library in Flow) already available as Flow is now available for general use?

  Is there an estimate on how conditions based on custom metadata this will be available for Flow both on Lists and Libraries?
  
  Also if you would like, please vote at the ideia at:
