Summary

This chapter introduced a few new actions (Create folder and Copy file) for the SharePoint connector, a new connector to an external service (Dropbox), as well as the concepts of functions and expressions. Expressions can be used to further create custom content, calculate and format values, or extract data from entities.

Using these new components, you were able to copy files internally between SharePoint sites, as well as copy them to an external service. Both types of flows (copying files internally and externally) can be used as part of solving very common business automation problems. Increasing your familiarity with expressions will help you make detailed flows with customizable data output.

In the next chapter, we’ll shift the focus to creating instant or button flows.
