Emailing files as they are added to a Team

Posted on by ScottBourg

Hello, I am new to Power Automate and I am having trouble thinking of a solution to my issue. Basically, I want to set up a flow that will send an email anytime a new file is added to a Team. This email will only consist of an attachment of the new file that was just added, and it will need to go outside of the company.

Thanks in advance for any help.

The trigger you are looking for is the SharePoint connector "When a file is created in a folder"

It should end up looking something like this:

Okay that seems to be working as intended. Thanks so much. Do you know if there is a way to only send over certain files that are added to that team based on the file name? Such as, only send the files that have "Plant Samples" in the name?

Sure. Add a condition based on the file name Contains the string you are looking for

Okay, apparently I am doing something wrong. Even though it is telling me the flow has completed successfully, I am not receiving an email, and I am getting this error message.
The whole flow goes as follows:
When a file is created in a folder -> Condition: x-ms-file-name-encoded Contains Plant Samples -> If yes: send email/ If no: no action.

It was working until I added the condition so I know I messed something up, just not sure what.

This issue was resolved, I needed to add an action to get the metadata of the file between the first action and the condition. Thanks for the help.
