Unable to select OneDrive for business option when creating a trigger for "when a file is deleted (properties only)"

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

I can set up flows for "When a file is created (properties only)" using OneDrive for Business but it only gives me the option to select OneDrive when doing the same for "When files are deleted (properties only)".

 

Sorry, I can't figure out how to upload a screenshot...

 

Hope that makes sense. Anyone got any advice?

 

Thanks

    Hi @Anonymous ,

     

    Please check online doc and get more details about OneDrive for the business connector:

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/connectors/onedriveforbusiness/#triggers

     

    Unfortunately, OneDrive for Business does not currently support triggers such as When a file is deleted (properties only).

    If you want similar features to be supported, please consider voting for similar ideas below:
