Adding a metadata column? (Date data was received)
- 2 years ago
Ohh, okay, there should be a bunch of videos out there on YouTube on how to get attachments from an email and send to a SP document library in Power Automate. If I recall, it uses the "create file" action. After you create the file(s), you use "update file properties" to add metadata from the original email to the library columns for the files you created (you'd add a custom date column called "date received" or similar).
It sounds like you're using the SP folder connector? The easiest way is to just use the created date on the file. The folder connector is pulling files at the site level, so it doesn't have easy access to the custom columns on a specific library. You could potentially pull in file metadata with the OData connector and join it with your file data on filename/location, though, and expand out the custom fields that way. Kind of roundabout.
