File connector to upload same-named file that has new data
We have a specific folder where we drop files that are to be uploaded automatically. Each time our process runs, we drop a file with the same name as the prior file (overwrite the old one). Will the Sharepoint file connector allow this or is there another connector that can be used — based on file name instead of file id? Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi @dianemairet ,
Yep you can use a bunch of different connectors that pull from file name rather than file ID. I made you a video to explain this better: https://www.loom.com/share/f8b38ceba0014fe58e46c25c7cf62248?sid=331ef3f6-e94c-4275-a48e-335fe3646b6b

@DashboardDude thanks for the video. Regarding the sharepoint connector, on the old sharepoint connector that was deprecated, it used to be I would manually type in the file path and file name, and even someone deleted the existing file and replaced it with a new file, it wouldn't matter as long as the file name was the same.
However, with the Microsoft Sharepoint Online Rest Connector, I have to select a file from a drop down menu, and I've found that when a file is deleted and replaced with a new file, even if it is the same file name, it seems to break the configuration and I have to go re-select the file name from the drop down, as if it is looking for a specific ID.

@Jbrorby ,
Ah okay I understand now. Hmm I unfortunately do not know of a work around.
