Is it possible to link/associate a power automate workflow with a Site Content Type? So that the workflow gets attached to any list/library where the particular content type is added.

Simple answer is no. If you wanted the flow to only trigger on Word documents, you could add a trigger condition to the flow. I have not tested this, but I think a trigger condition of @contains(triggerBody()?['{FilenameWithExtension}'], '.docx') may work. If you wanted to include .doc files as well, you modify the trigger condition appropriately. For example: @or(contains(triggerBody()?['{FilenameWithExtension}'], '.docx'), contains(triggerBody()?['{FilenameWithExtension}'], '.doc')).

This is a good post on trigger conditions: Microsoft Power Automate Trigger Conditions: Example-based Guide - Citizen Development Academy

Hi @JJ-15011632-0

Great suggestion @David_MA, depending on which trigger action is used you might even be able to check the Content Type Id with that approach 👍

Below is an example of using that property.

@equals(triggerBody()?['{ContentType}/Id'], '0x0101005F13643F1AA1B64CA94AB7E859623CE800B2499CDC9389034BB3670218FF971555')

This property is available in the When a file is created (properties only) trigger action

Below is an example of the trigger condition setup
