When a file is created or modified (properties only) not triggering

Hey I have a very simple flow, where I want to send an email when file is uploaded to a folder.

Super simple:

This one is working great. However I wanted to include in my email content the name of the user who uploaded the file, and found here that I could use this trigger: "when a file is created or modified (properties only)".

I configured it the exact same way and just added the variable to include the name of the user.

But the this flow never triggers.... Anything I am doing wrong???

Hello @julienvdc ,
which Power Automate plan do you have? Cause your flows may run every 15 minutes if you’re on the Free license plan.

To check the trigger wake up frequency:
Go to your flow trigger, and then select the …(ellipses).
Select Peek code.
Find the interval frequency.

I have tested many times and it's like this flow is ignored... I have the exact same configs as my other flow where the trigger is "when a file is created or modified" (this one works).

Ah wait, I think I've found the difference with my triggers. The one that works is actually "When a file is created or modified in a folder" (forgot the folder bit). I don't know if this has an impact?

Ok, but then I fill in the same info again? How will it know I am getting the properties of the uploaded file?

Cause you have to put the ID got from the trigger.

Ok, I tried.

The ID wasn't showing up, so I added a Compose to store the ID, and then used that into the Get File Properties, but it doesn't work... Got an error.

😞
