Shipped to First Release: Flow integration for SharePoint document libraries
Hello Kerem Yuceturk.
I was hoping that this would include access to the library meta-data, document types etc. but it does not seem to. Am I missing something? If not, any idea when this functionality will be delivered?
This sort of functionality is of more use to us than the ability to copy a file from DropBox to SharePoint etc. We are developing a PowerApp where it would be really useful to at least be able to read the meta-data for a document in a library. The library would have multiple document types.
Instead, I have a list to which people attach a document. They get this document from our file-system. This document has a large number of fields which the users must fill in before attaching it to the list. And some of the list columns duplicate the fields in the document which means that people must enter the information twice. The PowerApp connects to this list.
If using a library, we could define these documents as document types and link the fields to columns in the library. But we cannot use this meta-data in PowerApps or Flow. Even if Flow were the only option, this would allow us to create / update a list item when the document is created / updated. The document meta-data could be used to populate the list columns.
Therefore, really interested when this functionality will be available.
Thanks.
Ian.
We need to set meta data for documents. Read it back out again and send the file meta data and link over to Salesforce. Flow would be good for that.
