How to trigger a flow when a SharePoint file being downloaded?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 1,710

Hello,

 

Is it possible to trigger a cloud flow when a user tries to download a file from a specific folder in SharePoint online?

 

If so, could you please provide an example?

 

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Best regards,

Julien

    There is a workaround, sharing a reference link but need to build the logic

    Also, it has PowerShell script which can be automated using PAD.

    Hello @Kaif_Siddique ,

     

    Thank you for your reply.

    Could you please describe how the PowerShell script can be automated using PAD to generate the logs needed?

     

    Best regards,
    Julien

    Hi @Julien2 ,

     

    I have not tested "PowerShell to Get Audit Logs for SharePoint Online" script. Because i do not have rights to run it.

     

    But if you want to run a PowerShell script using the Power Automate Desktop then use Run PowerShell script action.
