Re: Trigger flow when a specific file is modified

I created a new flow with this Trigger Condition and it works:
ATSIGNequals(triggerOutputs()?['body/{FilenameWithExtension}'], 'Company Meeting Agenda - ABC.xlsx')
Split On (on):
ATSIGNtriggerOutputs()?['body/value']

Re: Trigger flow when a specific file is modified

Would there be any difference in the "Trigger Condition" if the file is located in SharePoint?

Hi @frixel,

In that case you should be able to use the exact file name with an equals instead:

@equals(triggerOutputs()?['body/Name'], 'filename.csv')

Hi @frixel,

Do you want to filter for one specific file, or for all files which are of type .csv? Otherwise you can use the exact name of the file.

And as far as I am aware on OneDrive for Business the property is Name instead of FilenameWithExtension. Can you try and use this expression:

@endswith(triggerOutputs()?['body/Name'], '.csv')

And I think you don't need to first row where you a comparing the created date with the modified date.
