Auto flow doesn't trigger when another user uploads a file to Sharepoint

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by FFMartin 7

Hi everyone !

 

I've built a flow that triggers when a file is uploaded to Sharepoint.
I've added some trigger conditions to avoid having the flow triggering each time a new file is added.

The flow works fine when I'm the one uploading a file.

 

When another user adds a file, it just doesn't work. The flow isn't even triggered.

If I download the uploaded file and re-upload it, it works again.


How could I make sure that the flow starts regardless of who uploaded the file ?

 

Thanks !

    Thanks for your reply !

    Changed the flow.
    It will be tested tomorrow in the morning (EU TZ).

    I'll come back to you if it worked !

    Hi @FFMartin 

    I would use another trigger -> "When an item is created" instead of "When an item or file is modified".

    Hope it helps!
