Approval Flow

Posted on by SM-08012153-0
For our department website I have a document library that includes three folders
  1. Approved
  2. Ready for Review
  3. Work in progress
I want to create a flow whereby when the file is moved to the Approved folder it automatically updates the Approval status to approve. Any help or direction would be appreciated

    Create a flow and set the trigger as When a file is created or modified (properties only).
    After the trigger, add a Condition action to check if the Path or Folder Path contains Approved

    Under the "Yes" branch of the condition, add the Update file properties action.
