HELP! Email notification when a file is uploaded to sharePoint with link

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hello!

I searched, I really did before this post.  Couldn't find anything like I'm trying to accomplish.  Im not a programmer so any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Here is the situation:

I need to send an email to specific people when a file is uploaded into a folder in SharePoint.  This folder already contains other files so I need the alert to only send ONE email for the newest file being uploaded. This email needs to have a link to that file.

 

Yes, I'm aware of the built in notification system but I have an executive demanding a link in the email that takes him to the file. It seems the built in system doesn't have that.

 

I was able to get something to work but it spammed my inbox with one email for each file that was sitting in the folder. I messed with the utcnow variable in the filter section but it came back with an error about the date format? 

 

Error:  {"odata.error":{"code":"-1, Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.InvalidClientQueryException","message":{"lang":"en-US","value":"The expression \"2022-03-17T14:55:16.2505228Z\" is not valid."}}}

 

I feel like Im almost there but I cant seem to get past this issue.  Screen shots below:

 This is my second flow.  Clearly I dont know what the heck I'm doing!

 

Thanks,

Mav
