This is the cleanest and the most clear video I ever watched about adding image to SharePoint and it is fully working. KUDOS!!!! Can you also please create a video tutorial how to insert a camera control if I have a canvass app that asks for name, bday, a dropdown list of option, comments? I want to include the person's image who I want to interview. Please please?
Great Job on creating the video, Not like other that keep blabbing away with out any substance. Some of those so call content creator for power apps just keep frustrating me lot of BS before they give you a tidbit. Thanks god for GPT chat and those pleople like you that create videos that get to the button line in a short period of time. THANKS !
Nice video John! Why do we have to includeBinaryData in our JSON function. I'm referring to the setting of the variable ImagesToJSON at about 9:30 in the video. It was my understanding that PowerApps stores all images as dataURI's encoded in Base 64 (see 3rd paragraph in this Microsoft article: flow.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/howto-upload-return-file/).
Yes, this is true. PowerApps encodes media in a dataURI, hence why you need to use the dataUriToBinary function in Flow. I think this is a case of poor naming. They should have probably used IncludeMediaData and IgnoreMediaData. If you don't use IncludeBinaryData in the JSON function the resulting JSON won't include the image data.
To be honest, I had never heard of SharePoint until last year. I suppose since it's a business product, unless you're working at a business that uses it, then it's not something you're going to use.
@@HowToExcelBlog Agreed.. but still interesting to know about. I've never regretting learning about new technologies.. even if I don't use them directly. Thanks again for all the wisdom. Thumbs up!
@@HowToExcelBlog hey john appreciate your effort! i am trying to populate my signatures in sharepoint list can you share some more details about the powerapps coding and can we get in touch and get some business done? thanks
Bravo! Bravo!!... simple and straight forward. i have one question please , if i already named my files and i wanna retain the names, what part of the code should i remove?
Hi John, sorry if this question was asked already by more experienced users here. I am trying to do this for a building inspection App. How to bring images back to view that were taken for a particular (e.g. building ID) to see at a later time? Thanks in advance John.
Great video!!! I have an issue though, I created the flow exactly as you did but when I try to run it on PowerApps, the formula is asking me for two variables or arguments instead of just the ParseJSON, it also asks for "Createfile_Folderpath". Do you know why does that happen or what should go in that space? Thanks!
The best video that I have seen to save a photo collection from Powerapps, I´m in the last part of the video and when I merged the two buttons , I got Set(ImagesToJSON;JSON(MyPicture;JSONFormat.IncludeBinaryData));FotosInsp.Run(ImagesToJSON) however powerapps is displaying a message that an not allowed character is being used in the formula Could you help me to solve this error Thanks
I tested my flow out, and was able to download and open the images. Make sure you are adding the .jpg extension to the name of the file when creating it. That's the only thing I can think of that might be going wrong for you.
How do you modify JSON to save image to a sharepoint list Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee I need to filter related images - will apriciate your advice ( Not interested pen input at this stage) Thanks
Hi, I'm trying to capture signature from pen inputand upload it to existing sharepoint list as attachment. i have a Collection and the JSON Code from the file .... but how i do upload that I always read only old or insufficient contributions. Kind Regards
Hi John How can I add and populate another column similar to file name p;lease? I tried unsuccessfully, (because images are saving to a library not to a list) Eg:- UserName: lblUser.text, I Created a column Name in sharepoint = UserName but does to populate value
Hello John, can you give me a little help? I'm using this formula in the Flow, "dataUriToBinary(items('Apply_to_each')['image'])", and the Flow said 'Could not validate template: 'Repeat actions' Apply_to_each 'referenced by' inputs 'in action' Create_file 'are not defined in template.' Do you know how to solve this?
John hola como estas, cuando hago el flujo me sale este erroe , que debo hacer: Error en la validación de la plantilla: 'Las acciones de repetición "Apply_to_each" a las que hace referencia "inputs" en la acción "Crear_archivo" no se definen en la plantilla.'. gracias
Please help :) when I already saved my flow it shows --- 'PowerApp->ParseJSON,Applytoeach,Createfile'.Run -- instead of SaveImages flow. and shows error.
I have followed same steps as in the tutorial. I am getting error when saving the flow, flow save failed with code "InvalidTemplate", The template validation failed: 'The repetition action(s) 'Apply_to__each' referenced by 'inputs' in action 'Create_file' are not defined in the template.'. Can someone assist me please ?
Looks like there are two underscore characters in Apply_to__each. Is that the issue? Try renaming the apply to each step to have an extra space, or remove the extra underscore in expressions.

Very good. Great. You could make more videos from PowerApps. You explain it very well. Congratulations...
Thank you so much for this wonderful video.
You're welcome Patrick!
Excellent video John, nice and clear, ill be looking at your other videos soon

You can save them to a collection along with the building ID.

You have some semicolons where there should be commas.
The only comma should be between the set function and run function, the rest are commas.
I feel you miss a semicolon just before FotosInsp... ==> Set(ImagesToJSON;JSON(MyPicture;JSONFormat.IncludeBinaryData));;FotosInsp.Run(ImagesToJSON)
John, The flow works fine, the image files cannot be opened later. What format is it in?
Interesting. I'll check it out and let you know. To be honest, I only viewed the picture preview in SharePoint and that worked fine.
They were saved as jpeg files.
I tested my flow out, and was able to download and open the images.
Make sure you are adding the .jpg extension to the name of the file when creating it. That's the only thing I can think of that might be going wrong for you.
How do you modify JSON to save image to a sharepoint list Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
I need to filter related images - will apriciate your advice ( Not interested pen input at this stage)
Thanks
Are they images from a PowerApp? Maybe you're better off using the attachment field in a PowerApp form?
I like to get some "HOW TOoooooooooooooooooooooooooos" , but need to explain in bit details -appreciate if you send your email Address Pl.
I need to do the same. did you get it done?
@@2077henry Not yet, John's method working fine, I need to create a gallery filter to filter related images!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can you use this method to save multiple signatures at once?
I believe so!

Did you rename the apply to each step? You need to use that name instead.

Usa Aplicar_a_cada_uno en luigar de de Apply to each
@@ericgonzalez3327 Excelente, ya no sale error con eso. Pero no me llegan las fotos al sharepoint, sabes que puede estar pasando?
Ya lo resolví. Gracias! Ahora cuando la abro en mi teléfono, no me abre la cámara, solo me permite jalar desde la galería.
Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood

Please help :) when I already saved my flow it shows --- 'PowerApp->ParseJSON,Applytoeach,Createfile'.Run -- instead of SaveImages flow. and shows error.
Yeah, me too
Could be your binary, “Apply_to_each”, check your expression again. When you update your flow - you must re-add it in power apps
I have followed same steps as in the tutorial.
