Sending email automatically when a video is uploaded to my OneDrive.

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 5

Hello, I have a OneDrive made for my edited clips of bicycling, and I have multiple people on it. When I upload a video, there is no way for them to know unless they check themselves. So, I decided to make a flow to send an email automatically when I upload a new clip. When I manually test the flow by adding a video while it's in test mode it works, but when uploading regularly without being in test mode, it doesn't even seem to recognize that I uploaded. I have attached some pictures of my custom flow. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Update: Never mind, I think I fixed it. I'll update again once I test it a bit more.

 

2nd Update: Yes it is fixed, I'm just stupid and didn't realize that it periodically checks the OneDrive to see if anything has been uploaded first.

    Hi @Eagleboy_Gamer 

     

    The trigger really shouldnt wait long, however if the files are large the file locks might hold for a bit.

     

    FYI I would go and delete or black out the peoples email addresses

    Thank you, Mike, I already redid my flow and it seems to be working ok now. I still need to work on it more.
