When a file is created (properties only) parametric trigger

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by comparini 13

I'm trying to find a way to make a trigger parametric.

i want to use the connector When a file is created (properties only) to listen on a folder that is created each month.

The name of the folder is predictable, and the folder is created each month, i want the trigger to listen on a parametric folder path where the last part of the directory is a variable. Is this possible?

    The trigger is the first action in the Flow, so there is no opportunity to create/use any parameter.

    You might try having the trigger monitor the library at a higher level.  Then, use a condition to check to see if the Flow should move forward.
