Sharepoint Shared File Modified Flow

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by jessparker

Hello,

 

I would like to create a simple flow for when a shared file in Sharepoint is modified it would email the changes to me nightly.  However, in reading other posts and trying to create a few different ways it seems I have issues with creating this since the file itself is shared and not the full library/lists.  

 

Contact List.xlsx - file name

Company Sharepoint Site > Documents > Company > Folder - path where file is saved

 

We do not have access to the full site, full content in the documents, company, or folder.  We only have access to the file itself.  Can we build automation with this narrowed access?

    Hi @jessparker ,

     

    I made a sample for you:

     

    Share files with a user.

    Create a flow with the user shared the file with.

    Trigger enter custom sites and libraries.

    Add a condition, when the modified file is a specific name, send an email.

    Save the flow and modify the file.
