Help with "When a file is created or modified (properties only)"

Posted on by jimmy-pa

Hi all.

I'm trying to build a simple Flow that will send me e-mail when a file is created or modified in a SharePoint site and library.

The first step with Site Address, Library Name and Folder it's all good as well as with "Send an Email" settings.

What I don't know how to validate (how to construct / inform to Flow) when the a file was created or just modified because I want different e-mail messages templates (one for created and another for modified).

To do so, I'm trying to include a Condition, but to be honest I have no idea and it seems I'm doing a mess with this simple Flow (pardon me. I'm totally newbie). Could you help me to fix the Conditional part with an example as my picture below?

Thanks in advance and best!

Jimmy

Hi @jimmy-pa

Please see the screenshot below:

Expression:

addMinutes(triggerBody()?['Created'],2)

Here, I am comparing the modified attribute and checking is it is 2 minutes greater than created time and if yes then the file is modified and if no the file is created.

Hope this Helps!

@yashag2255. Sorry to delay this after my last reply 3 weeks ago!

I've implemented your suggestion and now I can receive notifications when any file is modified (excellent ), but the "NO" part of Condition is not working... I tested including a new file, but I'm not receiving notification. Is there something else missing? Please see photo with updated Flow.

Notification for NEW FILES failing
Thank you so much once again!
