Create a file and folder then move created file into that folder
Hello All,
I have a case where I need a power automate to create a file and folder in SharePoint site and then move the created file into created folder..
I have followings:
A SharePoint list
Customer Exist: Yes, No
Customer name: List of customers(only one customer can be selected)
Few other fields (which are not important here)
Solution:
If a user selects the Customer Exist: "Yes".
Flow will create a file and move the file into the folder. The folder name is the same as the customer name.
If user selects Customer Exist: "No"
Flow will create a file and a folder(Folder name will be the same name as customer name), then move the created file into the created folder at this step.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Thanks

List - Test2
Customer: Lookup field to Customers
Customer Exists: Choice Yes or No
Library - CustomerFolders
Does the flow run- when an item is created, or modified, or when a condition is met? You'll need the right trigger and maybe a trigger condition. I set it to manually start and you enter the ID.
Create the content for the file. We'll use this to create a text file.
Create a variable for the folder path - /DocumentLibraryName/CustomerName
Use a condition to see if the customer exists.
Check to see if the Customer Exists = Yes
If yes, create the file.
Otherwise, create the folder, then create the file in the new folder.
Hopefully this is enough to get you started. There is a great Power Automate community here. https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Forums/ct-p/FL_Comm_Forums
