Print file when created if filename contains x

Posted on by ca2020

Hi I am reviewing an old process (was winautomate now converting to power automate) that creates pdf files and then at the end goes back through to see if a file contains the word 'print', if so print. There could be 100 created per day flow run.

I want to seperate this file checking into a new flow which seems straightforward but I want the flow to trigger when a new file is added to a folder, check it and print it straight away if the file contains 'print' (or could be filename contains x either will work). I cannot see a trigger for this (other than sharepoint which is not being used) what do you guys use in this example?

Thanks

Hi @ca2020 ,
You just want to compare the uploaded filenames to trigger the flow?
You can set trigger conditions on trigger.

@or(contains(triggerBody()?['{Name}'],'print'),contains(triggerBody()?['{Name}'],'x'))

Hi But like I said this is not in sharepoint, the files are stored in a standard folder on the C drive?
