Power Automate / Azure Logic Apps

The Microsoft Power Automate platform lets you connect to hundreds of Microsoft and third-party applications, services, and workflows. Power Automate provides a browser-based, visual, point-and-click interface for building integrations using prebuilt connectors and templates. Processes and integrations can be created quickly, with little to no coding, to automate routine business tasks and workflows across Microsoft 365 and beyond.

Azure Logic Apps enables you to connect to a wide range of cloud services, on-premises systems, and enterprise applications. Logic Apps offers a visual, declarative workflow designer available through the Azure portal and supported development tools, allowing you to build integrations using configurable connectors and triggers. Workflows can be implemented rapidly, with minimal code, to orchestrate and automate complex business processes at scale.

The same Files.com Connector can be used with both Power Automate and Logic Apps. It is available within each platform and can be found by searching for "Files.com" when building a flow.

Getting Started

The Files.com connector appears as an official, trusted connector inside both Power Automate and Azure Logic Apps, so you can simply search for "Files.com" when adding it to a flow.

New versions of connectors are tagged as "Preview" by Microsoft. However, they are functionally identical to released versions and are fully supported.

Authentication

The connector requires a Files.com API Key to authenticate and authorize the actions.

Ask your Files.com administrator to provide you with an API Key for the required user account or generate your own API Key within your Files.com user account.
