Send an email if an excel file has been modified

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 101

Hello,

 

I'm trying to create a flow that informs users if an excel file is present in a sharepoint library
has been modify.


If the file has been modified an email is sent at 7 a.m. otherwise nothing is sent

At first I wanted to start with a sharepoint trigger but I'm stuck with the timeout.

 

How to set up a library scan every day at 7 a.m. and if the file has been modified
an email is sent?

 

Thank you

    hi @Edvhdy  you can use two flows, one to capture the modify propertie and save that into a sharepoint list. A second flow schedule that runs in the time you need and read the sharepoint list that contents your data about files modified and filanny notify by email 🙂

    hi @ChristianAbata ,

     

    I thought of making your solution,

    I did create my first flow https://ibb.co/5sVwqts , but I don't know how to make the second flow, how do I compare?

    I think I succeeded,

    This is how I did it:
    1st flow:

    When a file is created or modified (properties only)
    Get files (properties only)
    Apply to each - value - Create item in list A


    2nd Flow:
    Recurrence
    Get items
    Condition - empty (body ('Get_items')? ['Value']) is equal to false
            yes - send email and delete items to make the list A empty
