Flow- Approvals

Requirement:
Share Point has multiple folder structure with nested folder in it and each folder has a group of users and one business owner for the complete folder structure. (Shown in the example below)

I need to implement a flow which triggers an email notification to its corresponding business owners requesting to Approve/Reject when an item/file is created in a folder/sub folder.

Once Approved/Rejected I would need to update the file status on the SharePoint based on the response to the email.
How do i achieve and specify folder specific business owner emails in the flow.

Implemented:
I have implemented a flow which sends an email when an item/file is created in any of the folder and status is also updated on the SharePoint as per the email response.

 

Road block: An email is triggered to all the business owners from the folder structure when there is a file created in only 1 folder where it is supposed to send an email to that particular business owner when/where a file/Item is created.


Ex: My issues in the below scenario
1) The email to business owner A only when the file is created in Folder A and Sub folder B, where as it is supposed to send the email to Sub folder B as well.
2)If we create a file in Sub folder C then the email should only be sent to Business Owner C and not to anyone else.
Folder A (Business Owner A)
     File 1
     Sub folder B (Business Owner B)
        Sub folder B File 1
     Sub folder C (Business Owner C)
        Sub folder C File 1

    Hi @rupach,

     

    Could you please explain more details about your scenario since the example that you provided is difficult to understand?

     

    Does the folder B and folder C is the subfolder of Folder A?

    How to understand that the file is created in Folder A and Sub folder B?

     

    You could add a Condition under the trigger to check which folder are the file created in.

     

    Such as you could check if the file is created in Folder A with flow as below:

    And you could check if the file is created in Folder B with flow as below:
