I need an automated flow to trigger when a file in OneDrive for Business is deleted.

There's an automated flow that does exactly what I need, but it only applies to OneDrive Personal Folders.

I need the same trigger for OneDrive for Business.  I just need to be notified when a file is deleted from a shared folder in OneDrive for Business.

    You can use the "When a file is deleted" for SharePoint, but use the URL to the OneDrive in question. 

     

    For example, my OneDrive is https://rhiassuring-my.sharepoint.com/personal/rhia_rhiassuring_com

     

    So it looks like this:

    Even though it's OneDrive, it's really still SharePoint, so that trigger works.

    However, using this approach, the trigger activates whenever any file is deleted anywhere in OneDrive, not just within a specific folder. What I actually need is a way to trigger the flow only when a file is deleted from a particular folder, so I can be notified accordingly.
     

    Additionally, I’m unable to retrieve the file path or folder name from the trigger’s dynamic content, which means I can’t set up a condition in my flow based on the folder where the deletion happened. This makes it difficult to target specific folders for notifications or further actions.
