Flow trigger for only after switching it ON

Hello all, 

 

I've this simple flow - which sends emails when files are uploaded to a SharePoint folder.

I only need the flow to run after certain files are added - so I normally keep it OFF. 

BUT when I switch it ON + add a file + the flow will trigger for all recent files (including those added when the FLOW was off and I dont want to notify anyone about ) 

Any idea how to make the flow only run on files added after it's switched ON again? 

 

it looks like the FLOW check the last run and RUNS on all new files regardless of their uploading time? 

 

Best Regards

    Unfortunately, this is expected behavior. You should add a trigger condition to your flow so it only runs when it meets the conditions of your certain files. You could also change your trigger to For a selected file so that way you can manually trigger it on the ones you need to.
