I have a flow that triggers when a file is created in a SharePoint library.
works very well for me.

but when my peers create a file the flow won’t trigger.
Also, I can’t see that file they create in the library.

need some help in understand this.

thanks

Hi @cadone

Can you check if there are any custom permissions on the library? Also, can you check if the other users are creating the files in the same library on the same site as you have configured in the flow? I would also check if there are any trigger conditions configured on the trigger that make the flow run only after the trigger items meet a specific criteria.

Also, if it is just the trigger, flow may take upto 5 minutes to trigger for the when a file is created trigger.

Hope this Helps!

Didn't any custom permissions. I will work with my IT admin to look into any other permissions issues. Thanks.
But I like your idea of trigger conditions. Is there a way I can dedicate the for to trigger only for certain users?

I will try that. Thanks.

Meanwhile, I want the flow to trigger whenever somebody a file to the SharePoint library folder.
My flow processes few steps and the last step it checks the file & end of the flow.
My peer dropped a file in the folder. I can see its sitting there (in checked out condition, which'd good). But the flow does not trigger.
I do this on my account, the flow triggers & all good.

I have checked the permission he has write permission to the sharepoint library.
Not sure why the flow wont trigger?

Is there some permissions for the flow also? Should he have access to the flow also?
I don't want people to have access to the flow; they may accidentally change something in the flow steps.

Can some one guide me, please.
