Running Office Script (JavaScript) on most recent file in a SharePoint folder via Power Automate

Posted on by RS-19111554-0

Hello All,

I'm looking for some guidance on how to run an Office Script on the most recent file uploaded to a SharePoint folder through Power Automate. The general outline of operations is as follows:

- TRIGGER - when a file is created in a folder
- Find / get most recent added file (the one that triggers the flow)
- preform an Office Script (JavaScript) on that file
- then move the file elsewhere

Any suggestions or input is helpful. I do have the required licenses etc to run the office scripts. Ideally, this takes place in an automated cloud flow.
Thanks!

Hi,

Looks like you described this perfectly! Start building!

You don't need to locate or search for the file that triggers the flow, you just refer to it by the dynamic content from the trigger. Office scripts is a standard connector. Try this.
