    @bingo-ingo Are you looking for when a new file is added to a specific folder?

    Would not the trigger when a file is created in folder X work for this?

    The trigger does not work if you copy a file to the folder.

    @bingo-ingo Is it a new file or are you replacing an already existing file?

    @JimmyWork The file is existing in one folder and the user move this file to another folder. The trigger should run if the file was moved. 

     

    In the docs i found for the trigger "File is created":  Files moved within OneDrive are not considered new files.
