When add new file on library in Sharepoint

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by AnaVidal

Hello, good afternoon.
I am building a flow in power automate, but I can't find the right trigger.
Could you help me?
I need it to trigger when there is a new file in a sharepoint library. That is when a user uploads a new file.
Which trigger should I choose? Thanks for your time. Regards

    Hi @AnaVidal !

     

    Try out these actions.

    1. When a file is created (properties only)
    Triggers when an item is created in a library. Returns only the properties stored in the library columns. You can add a "Get file content" step and use the "File identifier" property returned by this action to get to the contents of the file. When using this with the On-Premises Data Gateway, the name of the library to connect to may need to be entered manually.

     

    2. Get file content using path
    Gets file contents using the file path.

     

    Before:

    After:

    If you need help building a flow after this, don't hesitate to ask.

     

    I hope this helps.
