Tip #1454: Azure Blob metadata and index tags in Power Automate
Accessing Azure blob metadata involves obtaining a SAS URI and making an HTTP request. The "Get Blob Metadata (V2)" method in Power Automate does not actually return the metadata, but the metadata can be obtained using the "Get Blob Metadata (REST API)" request with the SAS key. The HEAD request returns the metadata as part of the headers block. Accessing index tags is more complicated, as permissions for tags are governed separately. The SAS URI with appropriate permissions can be generated in the Azure portal. The SAS URI can then be used in Power Automate to access and manipulate index tags. The process involves appending new tags instead of overwriting them. To learn more and see a sample flow, you can download the provided unmanaged solution.
