Adding File to Sharepoint Folder, Send an Approval

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by ez1138 218

Hi,

 

It looks like there are flows when a file, specifically is changed, etc.  Is there a flow to notify someone via Outlook when a file is added and potentially when a file is moved, deleted, etc.?

 

Thanks in advance.

    Thought about it a little more.

     

    If the file that was added, call is file1.pdf, is the one that triggers the approval, can that specific file have the flow attached to it throughout the full flow?

    Awesome.  After the approved I did see a "copy file" in SP, which I put in place for a specific file.  Is there a way to move any file from that location to the new location?  It asks for file path vs. folder location in the copy file.  They're mostly PDF's, so maybe I'll try ".pdf" in the interim to see if that works.  

     

    Thanks again!!!!

    Hi @ez1138,

     

    Yes, there is.

    Take a look at the following template:

    Get a push notification when a new file is added in SharePoint

     

    For Approval, see:

    Start an approval for new file to move it to a different folder

     

    Regards,

    Michael
