Move File to another folder based on specific property column

Posted on by Community Power Pla...

Hello!

I am trying to build a flow which moves a file to another folder when a specific property column is set to 'Yes'.

To further explain:

I have 1 folder called 'processed' and another called 'unprocessed.' In each folder I have created a new column called 'processed.'

When a file in the unprocessed folder is ticked 'Yes' in the new 'processed' column I would like the file to move to the processed folder.

Below is where I am up to, it seems to work (although I welcome any other suggestions).

My main issue I would like help on is targeting specifically this newly created properties column/field. At the moment, if I change any property of the file such as it's name, it also triggers the flow and moves the file.

Any suggestions / ideas / solutions / links to previous posts are very much welcome. Thanks for the help in advance!

Hi @Anonymous

Is your processed column of type Yes/No?

If yes, you can add a judgment condition, when the value of processed is equal to true('processed' column is ticked as yes), then move file.

Another method is to add trigger condition to trigger the Flow only when the value of processed is true.

@equals(triggerOutputs()?['body/processed'],true)

Hope the content above may help you.

Best Regards

@v-LilyW-msft I am trying to do something similar, but the file that is modified is a lookup from a list (Status column). I tried moving when that column changes, but it did not move the file. So then I tried do a schedule flow to move documents where that lookup column status = Approved, it succeeds but doesn't move the file and I can't see what happened within the flow:
