Inform employees about changes to files on SharePoint

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by SD-21031047-0 2
I have tried to create a flow that registers whether there have been changes to the files shared on SharePoint.
I've asked 3 different AIs and I can't for my life of it figure it out.
I'm trying to create a flow that checks every day whether there have been changes in the files and then sends an overview of the 5 "newest" documents to all employees so that everyone can go in and read the changes in the word files themselves.

    Have you started with the flow at all? If you have, could you paste it in here? 
     
    If you have not, start with the trigger Recurrence and then the action Get files (properties only)
    On the Get files, you add the condition 
     
    @greater(length(body('Get_files_(properties_only)')?['value']), 0)
     
    This will make it run only if there is files that has been modified or created the last day. 
     
    If you just want modified, you can use 
     
    Modified ge '@{addDays(utcNow(), -1)}' and Modified ne Created
    To get only the last 5, you open Advanced properties on the Get files action, set the Order by to Modified desc and the Top count to 5. 
     
    Hope this helps you =)
