## What is Microsoft Power Automate?

Microsoft Power Automate is a cloud-based service that allows users to create automated workflows between various apps and services, streamlining repetitive business processes and integrating applications without the need for extensive coding knowledge.

Power Automate offers a wide variety of ready-made connectors. Currently, Filestage doesn't have one. To connect with Filestage, we'll need to send a request to our API. Thankfully, due to our comprehensive API documentation, there are many potential integration possibilities between Power Automate and Filestage.

## How to connect Microsoft Power Automate to Filestage

\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_

## Filestage as a trigger

The trigger is the event that starts the automation. Triggers can be started instantly or manually, on a schedule, or automatically when an external event occurs. In this example, we will create an instant trigger that activates whenever a file review status changes to "approved" by setting up a webhook.

\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_  
**1 - Setup a webhook**

-   Click on **Instant cloud flow**
    

-   When choosing the trigger, scroll down and click on **When a HTTP request is received**
    

> **Info:** Please note that while you can use a webhook without an upgraded account, a premium Power Automate account is required to send a webhook response.

\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_  
**2 - Add an action step**

You can add a new action by clicking on **New step**. Here you can choose from a list of already existing actions and connectors, or set up an HTTP request yourself (like you will be shown later).

\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_  
**3 - Save the workflow**

Once you have added at least one action step, you'll be able to **save your workflow**. This will **generate a URL for your webhook**.

\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_  
**4 - Add the webhook to your Filestage team**

After creating a new webhook, [go to our API documentation](https://developers.filestage.io/docs/api/79twjnt5elqnk-add-new-webhook), scroll down to the Webhooks section, and click on **Add a new webhook**.

1.  Paste your Filestage API key into the **Token:** field.
    
2.  Paste your webhook URL after **webhookUrl**.
    
3.  Specify the events that you want to trigger the webhook.
    
4.  Click on **Send API request**.
    

If the response says **201 Created**, your webhook has been added successfully.

\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_  
**5 - Test your webhook**

Once you have setup your workflow, click **Test** in the top left corner of the Power Automate editor

## Filestage as an action

Actions are tasks performed when a trigger runs. Once you have chosen your trigger event, you need to choose what action you want to be performed in Filestage from our available API endpoints.

\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_  
**1 - Choose your trigger event**

-   Click on **Instant cloud flow**
    
-   Click **Skip**
    
-   **Type in the name of the app** you want to use as the starting point of your workflow, and **select the trigger event**.

\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_  
**2 - Setup a HTTP request**

To add a new action, click on **New step**. Since Filestage currently does not have a connector in Power Automate, you’ll need to set up an HTTP request manually.

In this example, we want every new file uploaded in the **Test folder** of OneDrive to be transferred to the **Incoming folder** of Filestage. For this, we will use the **Upload File endpoint**.

> **Info:** Please not that a premium account is required to setup a HTTP request.

1.  Select the **HTTP module**.
    
2.  **Choose the API request type; in this case, it's a POST request**.
    
3.  **Copy the endpoint URL** in the URI field.
    
4.  **Add a header containing the accepted media types and your Filestage API key**, which is necessary for the authentication. Additional parameters may be needed depending on the endpoint. You can add the **header either manually or by entering it in JSON format**.
    
5.  If your request needs it, **add a body filling it out with your parameters**. In this case, since we want the file from OneDrive to be uploaded in Filestage, we want to specify the **stepID, fileName, fileURL and uploaderEmail**.
    
6.  **Save** your workflow.

\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_  
**3 - Test your action**

Once you have setup your workflow, click **Test** in the top left corner of the Power Automate editor.
