Trigger On File Create - Onedrive subfolder permissions issue

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 29
Hey there - bit of a weird issue where I'm trying to trigger a flow on new file create in a sub-folder in my OneDrive (personal).  Flowchecker doesn't trigger an error until after I save the flow and go back to the details page for the flow.  then I get a "There's a problem with the flow trigger" error warning.  When I click the flowchecker link I get the following error: 
 
{
  "status": 400,
  "message": "The file id '85D9BCC24xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx3525796d37e' is not valid.",
  "source": "api.connectorp.svc.ms"
}
 


Weird think is have no issue when listening on the OneDrive root folder for new files and triggering accordingly.  I have my subfolder permissions set to read/write sharing but still having no luck.  Has anyone else come across this issue and resolved it?
 
Any help would be great!  Thanks!

    Can post the screenshot of your Trigger?
     
    Also please make sure you are using OneDrive and not OneDrive for Business action.

    Thanks for your reply here.  Below is a screenshot of my trigger inside of the flow.  One thing to note is that I'm looking for a text file in the subfolder and I was planning to just use filecontents variable in subsequent steps that parse the text for specific values.  I'm not using an additional step to "get file contents".  could that be the issue?

    Thanks!
