When new folders are added

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 36

Hi, I have a flow which manually triggers some actions from one defined root folder containing subfolders. Now I need to change it into the automatic setting, where when one or several folders are added, then it starts the flow. The next step is to perform the OCR text extraction action on the detected files inside newly added subfolders. I have done all stepsm just need to change the flow to automatically starts the flow and detected newly added subfolders and the files inside it. Can anyone help me with this?

    Hey @MNorouzi 

     

    There is no trigger but there are workarounds - Look at the thread - https://ideas.powerautomate.com/d365community/idea/83ad6fca-6578-42fd-bdaf-5b7c330f4e13 

     

    trigger condition 

     

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

    @equals(triggerBody()?['{Path}'], 'FolderPATH/')  

     

    The conditional approach - https://summitbajracharya.com.np/trigger-powerautomate-when-a-folder-is-created/
