Creating a planner task when a folder is created in sharepoint

Posted on by FH1000 44

I'm trying to get flow to create a planner task when a new folder is created in a sharepoint library. The create a task to review new documents in sharepoint template kinda works but it creates a new task for each file inside the folder as well. Can i somehow get the task to be on only the folder and not everything inside it?

    Hi @FH1000 ,

     

    Currently there is no direct trigger could be used as “When a folder is created” in SharePoint.

     

    However, we could consider using trigger When a file is created (properties only), then use property IsFolder to check if it is a folder or not.

     

    I have set up the flow likes below for your reference.

     

    Please take a try with it on your side.

    Btw, if you would like this feature added in SharePoint connector, please feel free submit your request on Flow Ideas Forum:

    Best regards,
