Send Email When File is Put in Folder

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 8

Hello,

 

I am having trouble with creating an automated flow.  When I add a pdf file to a specific folder on my company shared drive.  I would like an email sent to a specific person that has a link to the folder with the new file.  Preferably it should run every time I put a new pdf file in the folder.  But I would be happy with it running every time my computer boots up and it detects there is a new file in the folder.  I seem to only be able to create a flow that will email if a folder is there, no matter if there is a file in the folder or not.  It also will not automatically run the flow.  I must go in and click run for the flow to work.

 

Any help would be great.  This is my first time using Power Automate and I am finding it overwhelming.

    The file is not on Share Point. It is on a network shared drive.  This is what I had.
