Cannot Send Email to File Creators

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Trying to Create Flow where when a File is created in a particular SharePoint Folder which will start an Approval Process where if it is Rejected it will send an email to whomever created the File and remove it from Sharpoint and if it is approved it will send an email to whomever created the file and move the file to a different folder. I can get the File Removal or Movement part to work Correctly however I am running into a snag with the email side of the house. I have been looking around online and it appears that I should be getting the "Created by Email" Dynamic Content however I am not getting anything and so I am stuck as I cant get emails sent out and so the Creator will have no way of knowing the status of the files they have uploaded. Any thoughts? Screenshot below for Reference as well of one of the Links that provided me what what I should use.

    Hi @Anonymous,

     

    Please modify the trigger in your flow to "When a file is created (properties only)" as screenshot below:
