Use 'For a selected item' on a file
- Aug 24, 2017
I was interested in your issue, so found a solution that works for me. I did not use the "For a selected item" but started with going to the library, selected one file and choose "Create a flow".
This loads several templates, I choose "Post a message to Teams for a selected file" (I could have chosen differently). Use the Continue button - you will now be able to modify the flow.
The first action is "Request" - ignore that one, it is as it needs to be.
The second action is "Get item" - ignore that one, also good as is.
The third action is "Post message 2" - delete it!
Now you can add your third action as needed and do whatever you want with the item/file.
When you save the flow, and returns to the library, you will observe that when you select a file and looks under flow, you will see your flow's name there. :)
Hope this helps you on the way!
Kind regards
John

I love your out-of-the-box thinking and was able to get the flow to work with your solution! Thanks for the help and I will definitely post this to the Flow Community as well!
All the best,
