How can I create a flow to update the status of a document in Sharepoint by it’s modified date?

Hi, I am new to Automate and I have trouble selecting the right trigger and action.

I want to create a flow to update the status of my documents by creating a new column which are:

Active - for documents that last modified within a year

Pending - for documents that last modified for a year

Closed - for documents that last modified for 2 years or more

 

I tried to use “For a selected file” as the triggering but it doesn’t seem to work. Is there anyone can sort me out? Many thanks!

    Hi there.  For this, would something like a recurrence trigger work?  You could schedule the flow to run once a day, or week, or whatever works in your process.

     

    Good luck!
