Add flow to certain folder

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hey.

I want to create a flow for a folder in Sharepoint which would notify a certain person about a new file in the folder and ask for their approval of the file. However, when I press “automate” in the folder, I can’t choose my created flow, all I can see is “Request sign-off” and “Power automate”. I’m still very new to this so I’m sure I missed something important. Here is a screenshot of my flow.

Would sincerely appreciate an advice.

Thank you.

oh @Anonymous this is because you are using when a file is created trigger, you can only see flow when you trigger like for a selected item o file, is another kind of trigger.

Hi @Anonymous ,

It seems that you need to use For a selected file as the trigger. But as far as I know, this trigger currently only works on the file, and is not valid for the selected folder.

Best Regards,
