Last is to click Extract option to unzip files immediately to the specified folder.Īlternatively, you can also unzip a specific file from the zipped folder.Tick Show extracted files when complete By default, it will store unzipped files to the same folder as the zipped file). Now, you need to click on the Browse button to choose a destination where you can store extracted files.To unzip the entire compressed folder, right-click on it and select Extract All.Just like you zip a file by following a few steps, you can unzip them instantly. You can email or transfer the zipped folder easily. Now you will see a new zip folder is created with the same name in the same folder. Once done, right-click on this single folder and select Sent to and then, choose Compressed (zipped) folder.If you are planning to zip multiple files and folders, then try to put them all in a single folder(you can create a new folder here).Now that we have the rules let’s build the template that will cover all of this. If you can’t, you need to simplify or break it into multiple Flows. You should say what Flow’s objective is in a few words. I’ll go deeper into this concept in the future, but what’s important to understand here is that things should be as simple as possible. For example, you don’t have a square bit but adjust to a rectangle if needed. The pieces are super simple and used to build complex things. We can even have another flow whose responsibility is to deal with files in multiple locations. So by providing the file, we are signaling to the other Flows that use this one that they need to deal with that complexity.
We don’t need to accommodate if the file is in OneDrive, SharePoint, or an email, for example. For example, suppose the Flow unzips files that’s all it will do. We always want to have “Single-responsibility” where one Flow takes care of only one thing. It would be more accessible instead of the file itself. You may be wondering why we are not providing the path to the file in the trigger right now. Why provide the file and not the path in the trigger This way, we can check where we continue if there are files or stop if there aren’t any. Also, since other Flows will need to know where to find the files, we will return the path where the files were extracted and the number of files. If we don’t validate it before, Power Automate will return an error running the “Extract achieve to folder” action to deal with the error accordingly. The validation is essential to check, for example, If the file is not zip or not. Simple enough, but why do the validation?
