Hi there!
Could you help me please
I`d like to know if it is possible to receive a notification or e-mail, that when the shared file has been successfully opened for the recipient, and containing the date that the file was opened.
Thanks guys.
Thanks Mohamed Sanuj Basheer
I`ll study that.I guess that one API or code could help me get this trigger.
Yes, I guess that Microsoft could do a flow like this, informing that the recipient has received the file and opened it, like we have in app of social media.
If you have another idea please let me know.
You might be able to backdoor your way to doing this, if you save a file to sharepoint, then part of the instructions is the receiving user has to "save" the document, you could then have another flow that triggers on when document is created or modified.
Otherwise I can't think of a solution. The information has to be available at least within O365, as I can see on sharepoint that so and so viewed this document or that, I just don't believe that information is currently exposed in an API.
Try submitting the idea here:
Dear Mohamed Sanuj Basheer,
Thank you so much for your help,
I guess that only with code I will be able to do that.
thanks
Dear Partner,
Flow doesn’t have a trigger for “When a file is opened”. You may try if the following ways will be a workaround for you.
First, please consider creating a Custom connector, by describing the API you want to connect to, the connector understands the API’s operation and data structure.
More details about Custom connector:

Did I answer your question? Please consider to mark my post as a solution to help others.
