When a file is created (properties only)

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by comparini 13

I'm trying to trigger a flow with the connector When a file is created (properties only).

My problem is this connector seems to see the creation of csv (i tested only csv and folder creation) but not the creation of a folder.

This is quite odd because one of the body field is called "IsFolder" so i expected the connector to see the creation of a folder.

In my tests i got the trigger to fire on the csvs creation but not on folders creation, is this normal?

The connector is attached to an on-prem folder that i reach via on-premises gateway installed on the on-prem machine.

 

Can someone help me clear my ideas?

    Thank you for your time @v-qiaqi-msft. I'm sorry to hear that but it is what it is, i guess.

    I still haven't found a way by connectors to catch the event of a folder creation in a On-prem machine.

    It would be nice to move towards the implementation of this functionality in the connector "When a file is created".

    Hi @comparini,

    This operation triggers a flow when one or more files are created in a folder. The trigger does not fire if a file is added/updated in a subfolder. If it is required to trigger on subfolders, multiple triggers should be created.

     

    Is Folder is just a boolean value (true, false) to indicate whether or not the blob is a folder, which does not mean you could trigger the flow when you create a folder.

     

    Please check our doc for details:
