Move files and folders in SharePoint based on a link

[Wolfgang_S]

Hi,

I have a SharePoint list that contains links to files and folders. Now I would like to move these files and folders in an automated  flow to another folder in SharePoint. Unfortunately the actions move file and and move folder do not accept links to identify the file or folder to be moved.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks for your help

You will have to use the Sharepoint API with the Send HTTP request to Sharepoint action.

Here is a link to the documentation of the API: Working with folders and files with REST | Microsoft Docs

and here is some documentation on how to use it inside Power Automate: Working with the SharePoint Send HTTP Request flow action in Power Automate | Microsoft Docs

Hello okeks,

thank you for your hint. 

But I have found an easier way. In my special case, the pathname and filename are part of the link. So I decided to extract pathname and filename from the link and use these. Therfore I use the function split:

split(split(triggerBody()?['DocumentLink'], '?') [0], 'ProjektarbeitI') [1]
