Flow not triggered after new files are created OneDrive for Business

Posted on by morrowyn

Hi,

I have created a basic flow when the following parts:

- When a file is created (One Drive business)

- Send an email V2 (outlook 365)

The file part has a recurrence of 5 minutes. Now when I copy 10 files simultaneously into the One Drive folder, after an hour waiting I'm still not receiving an email, while the Test worked within 10 minutes of waiting. Any ideas what's happening and I'm not seeing the email as expected? Does it have to do with the 10 files at once?

I have a Office 356 Standard plan by the way.

Regards,

p.s.

Hi @morrowyn ，

Actually it would be OneDrive API limitation. When we copy file to the other folder in onedrive, it will not be identified as modified in OneDrive and so it will not trigger flow. But if you copy file from the folder out of OneDrive, it would be triggered.

Thanks

Hi,

I copy the files from a folder outside of OneDrive into a folder inside OneDrive. So I'm kind of stuck now using this. I'm using the OneDrive folder through Windows Explorer by the way.

Hi @morrowyn ,

May you try to copy file to onedrive folder from Browser , not from local PC?

Hi,

That seems to work. When I copy just one file from windows explorer it seems to work as well. So what's the difference here?

This would be know limitation of onedrive API. It sometimes will not mark onedrive is modified when we copy file in Onedrive from local PC. If you want to know more please open case to check what blocks you update onedrive folder status.
