I have an Azure Logical app that every hour gets a file from a website and create a file in OneDrive. Since the file does not have a dynamic name, it gets replaced every time. Is there a way to put the current date time in the filename?

Thank you, David

@Rodrigo Daruich Alvarez's answer got me in the right direction but the format wasn't quite right. The below worked for me 

concat('file',string(utcNow('yyyyMMdd'),'xls')

the formDataValue didn't seem to work.
