Azure-docs: Instruction to overcome 50MB ftp limit does not work with "When a file is added or modified (properties only)"

[sweetmoniker]

This doesn't work. In the Get file content step the only dynamic content available are "List of" options. "File Content" is not available for selection and the app the fails.

Hi @sweetmoniker & @mike-urnun-msft,

Based on the API reference page for the FTP connector, looks like the FTP trigger has changed. The output from the current trigger version returns a list of files, rather than the file content. Here's more info about the FTP trigger: https://docs.microsoft.com/connectors/ftp/#triggers

I created a doc work item to address. Thanks!

Apologies for the delay. I'm not sure why this issue was closed. It appears exactly as it did when I originally posted. In the Get file content step the only dynamic content available are "List of" options. Unless I am missing something, there is no way to obtain "File Content" from the ftp in the logic app using "when a file is added or modified (properties only)."

The topic was updated to show that you now have to use the Get file metadata action in between the When a file is added or modified (properties only) trigger and the Get file content action. In the Get file content action, you reference the file through the Id property. And then finally, in the Send an email (V2) action, you can reference the File Content property.

I follow. My apologies. That extra "Get file metadata" step is key. This appears to be working.
