PowerAutomate - Problem with "When a file is created (properties only)" trigger

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

Good afternoon all,

I'm hoping someone can help me as a flow that I had built now seems to no longer work, but only potentially in the last month or so.

I have an initial flow that runs when someone "edits in grid view" and ticks a tick box in a column to alert it to send the file.

The first flow uses the "When an item or a file is modified" and for each it "Get changes for an item or a file (properties only)"

Then for each I use a condition that checks if the column name is equal to true and it moves the file to a folder. This first flow is working fine.

However when the file is moved into the folder the trigger for my next flow, "When a file is created (properties only)", does not recognise that the file has been moved to the folder. I have also tried "When a file is created or modified (properties only)" which also doesn't seem to do anything.

 

I get somewhere when I use the "When a file is created in a folder (deprecated)" but this doesn't seem like a viable solution if the trigger will be removed from the catalogue at some point.

 

Can anyone suggest another Sharepoint trigger that will recognise when a file has been moved into the folder to allow me to get its properties in order to then move it into a folder elsewhere in the same library?
