Posted on by 58

I have made a flow with the trigger "When a new file is created" preview to include subfolder.

 

If I test my flow, he works but when I had a file in onedrive folder or subfolder nothing happens.

 

It's seems to me that the trigger does'nt works.

    Hi @willy30870 

     

    The trigger only works for the specified folder

    So if I add files within the folder defined , it will work

     

    However , if the folder contains subfolders then it will not trigger for files uploaded in the sub folders

    You will have to create a trigger for each sub folder

     

    There is a user voice out there with this request

    Hi @willy30870 ,

     

    I did a test on my side and set Include subfolders to Yes. When I create a file in a subfolder, Flow will be triggered.

    You could view the File path, which is created in the subfolder.

    Please try again.

    Thanks for your reply,

     

    This is the beginning of my flow : 

    my_flow.JPGmy_flow_result.JPG

     

    And it works well in test mod...but nothing happened when he is in real test... I will try with your trigger to test...

     

    Has RezaDorrani says : "if the folder contains subfolders then it will not trigger for files uploaded in the sub folders"

     

    I will have to find another solution because I have more 250 folders to monitor...I can not create 250 identical flow, it's to complicated to administer...

    Hi @willy30870 

     

    As @v-bacao-msft  pointed out, my statement of you having to creating multiple triggers is not true

    The same Flow set on a folder will work for all sub folders
