Automated email when new file uploaded

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by DavidSay

Hi,

 

So Im quite new to PA. Im trying to set up a flow, where I will upload a file to sharepoint and it will automatically send an email and include the new file name in it. 

 

Eg: I have uploaded a file called "XY" to the sharepoint, so then an email to certain recipients will be send saying: Hi,  a new file "XY" has been uploaded to sharepoint. 

 

Thanks a lot for help!

David

    Hello @DavidSay ,

    for that you'll need an automated flow with trigger 'When a file is created (properties only)' where you'll select the SharePoint site and the document library where the files will be uploaded.

    That will provide you dynamic content with available metadata from the document, including the 'Name' and 'File name with extension', which you can then use in the 'Send an email' action.
