between certain Microsoft services and other external solutions.

00:00:09

Let's take the following example,

00:00:12

your company previously used cloud storage hosted by Dropbox following the

00:00:16

transition to Microsoft 365 and thus to a SharePoint storage solution,

00:00:22

you need to set up an automated exchange ss between these two spaces.

00:00:27

The goal is that when a file is deposited in a specific dropbox folder,

00:00:32

it is automatically retrieved in a specific sharepoint library.

00:00:36

This example relates to a Dropbox solution but

00:00:39

could just as well illustrate a Google drive.

00:00:41

Of course

00:00:44

we have on the dropbox side,

00:00:46

a folder named SP exchange SS which will host the files to be retrieved.

00:00:52

On the sharepoint side.

00:00:53

A library is available in a SharePoint site named Sass Dropbox.

00:00:59

There are many templates offered by power automate, one of which meets your needs

00:01:04

by using the templates and entering the appropriate keywords.

00:01:08

A flow template will be suggested to you.

00:01:10

Let's go,

00:01:12

you will need to connect your dropbox space

00:01:14

to the flow with the correct credentials.

00:01:19

The flow is generally simple.

00:01:21

It proposes a trigger defining the start of the process. When a file is created

00:01:25

on the dropbox side.

00:01:27

Then a second action on the sharepoint side. Of course,

00:01:31

in the dropbox action block, identify the folder to monitor named here,

00:01:35

SharePoint exchange SS

00:01:38

in the other action block define the target location,

00:01:41

your SharePoint site and the corresponding folder

00:01:44

in the dropbox exchange SS library.

00:01:47

Some elements are prefilled. Since you are starting from a template,

00:01:51

the name of the created file will be identical

00:01:54

and will contain the content of the original file.

00:01:58

Note,

00:01:58

the flow will not delete the original file on

00:02:01

dropbox power automate actions on external services are limited.

00:02:06

You can complete this flow by opting to be notified via teams of the

00:02:09

file deposit depending on the detail to be included in this notification message,

00:02:14

retrieve the properties of the created file by referencing its id

00:02:24

lastly add a team's conversational message action

00:02:27

block where you are the recipient,

00:02:33

draft the message that should contain the file name

00:02:36

and its access link retrieved through the dynamic content

00:02:42

save test and import a file into your dropbox folder.

00:02:49

You can of course move a file from one dropbox folder to the SASS folder.

00:02:55

The flow executes and you receive a team's

00:02:57

notification of the deposit with the name.

00:02:59

However, the link is not clickable,

00:03:04

then modify your flow.

00:03:05

Switch to code with the small icon at the top

00:03:08

right and integrate the link into an html hypertext tag

00:03:15

test again by depositing two files simultaneously. This time.

00:03:20

Perfect.

00:03:22

You receive two teams notifications with functional links.

00:03:27

On the sharepoint library side, the files are indeed present

00:03:30

your exchange SAS works and meets your expectations.
