Flow is sending e-mails when folder is created

Posted on by Pachor 8

Hi Guys,

 

I have a problem with one flow. I created flow, where once file is uploaded into library, automatic notifications should be send to the particular group. Everything is fine however, it's also sending automatic e-mail when I'm creataing new folder - for example i have 2021 folder, I'm creating 05 May folder inside and automatic e-mail was sent.

 

Could you pleae advise if there is any option that I can use to determine that e-mail should be ONLY send when file is uploaded? I don't want to trigger flow once I will be creating new folder.

 

Thank you,

Piotr

    Hi @Pachor,

     

    There should be a IsFolder property on the item. You could check if that equals false. When that is the case it will only be an item and not a folder.

     

    Below is an example.

     

    You can use the following expression in a trigger condition in the settings of the trigger action.

    @equals(triggerOutputs()?['body/{IsFolder}'], false)
