If you’re looking to automate the process of copying a file from a URL using Microsoft Flow, then you’ve come to the right place. In this blog post, we’ll show you how to do just that.
First, you’ll need to create a new Flow. To do this, go to https://flow.microsoft.com and sign in with your Microsoft account.
Once you’re signed in, click on the “Create from blank” button.
On the next page, you’ll need to select the “Copy data from one location to another” trigger.
Now, you’ll need to specify the URL of the file you want to copy in the “Source URL” field.
Next, you’ll need to select the “File” connector and specify the destination path for the file in the “File path” field.
Finally, click on the “Create Flow” button to save your Flow.
That’s it! You’ve now successfully created a Flow that will copy a file from a URL to your specified destination.
