Trigger a button flow from sharepoint library

Posted on by FH1000

I have a library. I have made a button triggered flow to get file contents from a template and create a new file in said library. How can i get this flow triggered from the library? It doesnt show up in the flow menu as it is a button flow.

My workaround is to use "for selected file" as a trigger, but i wish to avoid to have to select a file to be able to trigger it.

thanks

Hi!
You mean a button applying to the whole library?
I would say such functionality is not supported by Microsoft Power Automate (aka Flow) ... I am also using the workaround you suggest, but let's wait and see if somebody else gives us good news

Hi @FH1000
You can try using the SPFx 'Command Sets' extension to design a button to trigger the flow. Please follow the below link for creating the extension.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/spfx/extensions/get-started/building-simple-cmdset-with-dialog-api
compareOneCommand.visible = event.selectedRows.length === 1;
You can modify the above condition and enable the button to be visible always to the library.

Hope it helps, please like it or mark it as a solution if it resolves ur clarification or issue

Wow! I was not aware of such functionality! At a first glance, it looks like Outlook add-ins feature

Thanx for sharing!
