I would like to build a flow that will update an image on the homepage of my Sharepoint site when I upload a new image to the document library.
Each Monday I upload a new document to a document library. Then I go to the homepage of my Sharepoint site and edit the web part to link to the recently uploaded image file so that the new image displays.
I believe my ‘trigger’ is when a File is created or updated. I am unclear what my ‘action’(s) is.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @PeggyLang
Instead of updating the link on your webpart I would have the webpart link to a file in a different document library with a generic name that won't change name e.g. homepageimage.jpg
The flow would be triggered on upload of a new file in the document library (when a file is created)
then get the file content of the image
next delete the existing homepageimage.jpg file
next create a file in the location and with name of your homepageimage file
Hope this helps, please mark as a solution if it does.

Hi @dvstrien
Thank you! I had not thought of that. I will definitely work on that today. Thanks so much for responding and making me think outside the box. I'll come back here and let you know if I was able to successfully build this.
@dvstrien The flow runs successfully, however, the image does not change on my home page.
I'm not sure why?
@dvstrien I believe I have an idea. It would seem that Sharepoint is returning the 'cached' file which is why the image is not updating on the SP site.
SO . . . is there a way to force SP to not use 'cached' files?
OR
is there a way to add a dynamic element to the file name? i.e., a # that is actually a counter function?
