Start an approval when a file is changed inside a folder (Sharepoint Library)

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 41

Hi, 

I have one Sharepoint Library, where we have folders.
The Folders contain all the metadata, including the approver email when changes are made. The files inside the folders doesn't contain any metadata => no approver. 

We need an approval flow when changes are made inside a folder or a new file is created in a folder and/or preferably if one file is deleted from a folder.

 

How should I start my flow to make the approval process to activate?
I've tried:
"When a file is created or modified in a folder (deprecated)"

Problem: Get the email from "approver" for the approval flow

 


"When a file is created or modified (properties only)
Problem: Get the email from "approver" for the approval flow



but not sure how to continue the flow to get all the necessary information.
