Get flow to trigger when file copied into folder

Posted on by JC-24071247-0

Currently I have this flow:

Its triggered any time a pdf is saved into the "Susar pdf's" folder, and it creates a csv it saves into the "susar csv's" folder, based on tables it extracted from the pdfs. Real proud of it haha.

Anyhow, right now it seems like its only triggered when its "saved" into that folder. I.e. if I download the pdf from somewhere, drag and drop it from my downloads into that folder, its not triggered.

Is there a way to make it trigger when I do either? save it and/or copy it in?

I was impatient and it seems to be triggered by copies too, dont know how to delete this question. Admins please do

Hi @JoeCrozier

You need to use the below trigger,

Then depending on what the next or other actions need, either pull the file content using

Get File Content or Get File Content Using Path

If you do NOT need to pass the data to some other function and just the Path, then grab that from the properties.

If I have helped you, I would really appreciate if you please Mark my answer as Resolved/Answered, and give it a thumbs up, so it can help others

Cheers
