Save Microsoft Forms Attachments to SharePoint with Power Automate

[@AprilDunnam]

Important Note: The demo I show is of a Personal Form in Microsoft Forms, which is why the data is stored in OneDrive for Business. We also have the ability to create Group Forms in Microsoft Forms. This means, instead of the form and attachments being tied to the person who created it, it is associate with a Group and the attachments then are stored in the SharePoint Document library of the group. So if that's how you create your form you might not need this process. If you need to move the attachment to a different SharePoint library the only change is to use the "Get File" SharePoint Action instead of the "Get File" OneDrive action. Everything else is the same.

[@cvkealey]

Actually, the "Get File" SharePoint action doesn't work to move those files attached to Group Forms because the "id" of the file that's provided in the JSON from the response details isn't the same as the "id" needed by the Get File action. You actually need to use the OneDrive actions to "Get file metadata" of the attachment, feeding it the "driveId" and "id" (concatenating them with a . in between) from the JSON, then user the Id output of that action with the OneDrive "Get file content" and THEN the SharePoint "Create file" action. It's a pain, but does work.

[@cmacdhon]

Holy crap!!! This is exactly what I have been trying to accomplish for weeks!! I was even told by a so-called 'expert' that due to limitations in Power Automate, it was not possible to retrieve file names of attachments if there was more than one. I have spent all day trying to come up with a believable sob story as to why I could not fulfill this requirement, but thanks to you, I can save the day, and make myself appear 100 times more capable than I really am. I'm going to take full credit for figuring it out myself, but I'll always know that it was all you! 😉Thank you! thank you! thank you! This was HUGE for me.😃

[@AprilDunnam]

Well I'm glad that I could help!! 😀

[@garycarmen9212]

Thank you April. This video was fantastic. I did try to replace the expressions with the name for the Parse Json as you described for uploading more than one file, although I had an issue whereby the attachments would not open. I realised that I had an 'apply to each' for both the get file content and add attachment. It is worth noting in case others have this issue, the get file content and add attachment needs to be wrapped in the same apply to each.

[@crystalmarini5208]

This is more complicated than it looks and I still can't get it to work. April, it would be a great video to walk us through the whole thing with multiple attachments. It's not obvious for non-developers...

Thank you for your video, April. It is well done, very helpful and your expertise is apparent. I am trying to create a master folder in Sharepoint with a tracking document for a training program to drop certificates of completed programs in to. This is for a volunteer organization I am a part of. My challenge is that there are multiple questions each with a required certificate.

[@cbeyonduk]

Hi April, thanks for this very informative video. I have a form which has TWO fields for adding attachments (the first is to add an XLS expense claim form, the second is to add the receipts saved as a PDF doc). I've followed your video but created two separate flows (Parse JSON, Get file contents using path and Add attachment). For both i've used the "first(body('Parse_JSON'))?['name'] expression" as each of these two fields only allows the uploading of 1 attachment each. The files are correctly saved in their respective folders on OneDrive (Question and Question 2). Question's file format is XXXX.XLS (e.g. Expenses_BOB.xls), Question 2 file format is XXXX.PDF (e.g. Receipts_BOB.pdf) The problem i am having is the second one is failing (at Get file contents using path). The raw input is: "host": { "connectionReferenceName": "shared_onedriveforbusiness", "operationId": "GetFileContentByPath" }, "parameters": { "path": "/Apps/Microsoft Forms/Expense Claim Form/Question 2/Expenses_BOB.xls", "inferContentType": true It is failing with a 404 Status, The resource could not be found. Looking at the path in the second "Get file contents using path" it is referencing the file from the first "Get file contents using path" (Expenses_BOB.xls instead of Receipts_BOB.pdf) How do I address that? Many thanks in advance, Graeme

[@MaunghiPearson]

Awesome video, April! Love your channel.

[@AprilDunnam]

[@user-zj3pm9dy7f]

April, amazing video. Thank you so much! One thing I figured out - and I know this was at the very end when you were trying to finish up so there was not a lot of time spent on it: You show two "Apply to each" boxes when grabbing multiple files, but I could only get it to work when I had ONE "Apply to each" action with both the "Get file Content using path" & the "Add attachment" in the same "Apply to each" action 'box.' Thanks again!!

[@Jojje67]

Great video and good explanation about JSON. But an easier way to grab the file is instead of using "Get file content using path" is to use "Get file content" and use "id" from Parse JSON. And you already have the "name" in Parse JSON. No need for an expression when you Add attachement.

[@morganmcgary921]

Joakim, thanks sooooo much for posting this. In my environment I could NOT get the get file content using path method to work but your proposed change fixed it right up for me and it's working now. you rock!

[@AliOGUL]

for anyone who has issue finding "file content" , this is the best approach. when using "Get file content" , don't put the path (you will have issues otherwise), just use JSON id alone; first(body('Parse_JSON'))?['id'] and then when adding attachment , as Joakim mentioned, you just need to add "name" as it will be available in the dynamic content list under "Parse JSON"

[@bobbirowlett6728]

Is there a step that can be shared for how you would do automatic maintenance on the original location of the documents uploaded. In your example you're taking from the original one drive location and copying them to the list. Works so well! But we still have a lot of files that will just sit in the original location. Thinking it would be a good idea to keep that trimmed down since already found in the list.

Hello, I was able to get this flow to run successfully for my Group Form, but when I go to the SharePoint item to open the attachment, which in this case, is a Word document, I get an error message that states "Sorry, this document can't be opened for editing." It gives me an option to open in Desktop App, but when I do this, I get an error message from Word states "Word found unreadable content in (name of the document). Do you want to recover the contents of this document?" When I click Yes, I get a message that states "Word experienced an error trying to open the file." I've tried other files such as a PDF and run into similar issues. Not sure if this is a PowerAutomate issue, however, when I go to the folder where the attachment is, I can open it there just fine; it's only when I try to open it from the SharePoint list item I run into issues.

You have to make a true/false condition to prevent the Parse JSON (and the steps after that) from running if there is no attachment/file uploaded.
