Run Flow only if attachments have changed

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 160

Hello,

 

My sharepoint list is populated from PowerApps, attachments are stored in each element at each form submit.

 

My flow works well with the trigger when new item is created, and handles only some attachments depending on the file extension. As soon as I update the item, I want my flow to start it only if the attachments have changed. Currently it starts each time.

 

How could I trigger this? I found no way to track the version related with the attachment column.

 

Thanks for your help.

Paul

    hi,

     

    you first have to "get attachments" from your sharepoint list, and then you can "get file metadata".

    Please show me how to get the file metadata for a SharePoint list attachment. As far as I can tell, "get file metadata" only works on files in document libraries and not attachments.

    Have you looked into the 'get file metadata' action? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/connectors/sharepointonline/#get-file-metadata

    You would need to trigger on change of the item still and compare the modified date of the file to the item's modified date. I am not sure of a way to only trigger on change of a file in a column.
