    Hi @PeggyLang ,

     

    Please consider using When a file is created (properties only) as a trigger to configure Flow and try to see if Flow can be triggered normally.

     

    Best Regards,

    @v-bacao-msft , I am totally stumped.  I started out with 'when a file is created (properties only)' and the flow would not trigger.  Then I changed it to 'when a file is created' still flow would not trigger. 

    Have changed back to 'when a file is created (properties only)' and flow is still not triggering.

    I was hoping time away from my desk and then fresh eyes back on it would illuminate what must be obvious - but sadly not.

    The above is the trigger.  My test is 'I will perform the trigger action'.  I then add a file to the folder '2020'.

    I keep thinking about this and coming back to it hoping to find a solution.

     

    This flow ran sucessfully on 10/7.  Below is the trigger portion of the run history.  I had made some folder in folder changes since then, but I went back in and changed it back to exactly what it was on 10/7.  Flow is still not triggering.  
    It is either not connected - even though I checked my connections and they have green checkmarks beside them.

    Or it is not recognizing that a file is created in the folder.  I have had other flows run successfully today, flows connected to Microsoft Forms and a different Sharepoint site. 

    Perhaps of note the Sharepoint site in the flow below is the site of a Teams channel.  Perhaps there has been some behind the scenes changes/updates where Teams sites/channels are involved?  Sure hoping to get this resolved.
