Power Automate - How to Rename All Files inside SharePoint Document Library | Send HTTP Request

For the content-type you can set the following value, application/json;odata=nometadata This simplifies the body and there is not need to add the metadata and type, just an object with the property you want to set. Really good content. Cheers.

Interesting. Is there a way to do this to replace specific characters from file names? For example if you wanted to replace all of the spaces with underscores?

Hi, Thank you for this video. May I check how can I get the eTag from the Output of Send HTTP Request to Sharepoint action? Is there a way to parse the Output and get the eTag value after renaming the file ? Please help to share your thoughts. Thank you.

[@LernenTech]

generally there is action get file metadata in power automate but if you are looking from the output of http request then not sure at present but i will check if there is anything.

Get current date put it in format you want and then add at the time of rename using variables
