Trigger after TWO files have been created or modified in SharePoint Online Folder

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hello. I have a situation where I need to a flow to trigger after TWO files have been created or modified in a SharePoint Online Folder. I These 2 files could have different names throughout the month, but there will always be 2 that I'm looking to have changed before I'd want my flow to trigger. Is this possible? Maybe I could have one flow trigger another? Thank you -Nate

    That's not really possible using the triggers that currently exist.  The only workaround I can come up with is to store the last time the flow fired somewhere outside the flow, like a list in SharePoint.  Then when the file triggers have it check the last modified on all the other files.  If its later than the stored date then there are two files that have triggered otherwise do nothing.  If there have been two files triggered update the stored date to the current date and time

    Thank you for the reply. I think you're right.. Maybe even just logging the sum of modified files by day aggregated in an excel file and when the sum equals at least 2, trigger refresh somehow. I'll keep studying. Thanks again
