Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

I've tried to use the trigger "When a file is created or modified (properties only" to start the flow when a news i posted on a Sharepoint Site.

I've entered "Site Pages" in the libary name, but when I run the flow - it just gives be a 404 - lis not found

I want to get the Promoted State from the file - then i know if it's posted as news or not.

Any suggestions? I've tried to follow this "How To" https://collab365.community/using-flow-sharepoint-news-notifications/

After some more testing and searching I came over this article; https://joannecklein.com/2018/11/30/using-microsoft-flow-to-know-when-a-modern-page-is-published/ suggesting to use GUID of the Page Libary as input - and then it worked as charm.

So...

HURRAY!

IT WORKS!

My humble suggestion:

1.-Mark this topic as "Solved" by clicking "Accept as a solution". This way other community members facing this same problem in the future have the chance to find a solution faster. Please note you can even select several replies as as 'Solution', even from different community members, also you!

2.- (OPTIONAL) Click on 'Thumbs up' in any answer you found valuable.

Even though this 3rd step is OPTIONAL, please remember it is the cheapest, easiest way to say thanks to somebody that simply tried to help. And just between you and me, everytime an inspiring answer receive a kudo, an ewok escapes from The Emperor menace 😉

Thanx for your contribution to keep this community great!
