Power Automate - Copy list attachment to document library

The goal here is to copy a SharePoint list attachment to a document library when a new SharePoint list item is created or modified.


Problem

Using Copy File action directly for SharePoint List attachment to Document Library will not work for some reason.

There is this error "Unsupported list type for copy/move. Copy/move can only be operated in Document Library."

Using Copy File


Solution

In order to copy an attachment file to a document library, use the following Get Attachment Content and Create File instead of Copy File

Get Attachment Content
