How to Rename random file in Sharepoint folder with Power Automate

Hello,

We will be receiving a file from our business department each month, via email. The file will have a date value appended each time, so it won't be the same file name. The trigger will be 'When an Outlook Email arrives'. Through Power Automate I detach this file from the email and move it to a folder on our Sharepoint site. The file will look something like this: OurTestFile_20230607.csv.

I am looking for an action that will search for this file in the folder, and then rename it to OurTestFile.csv. I know Power Automate does not have a clear utility for renaming Sharepoint files.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you !
