Get notified when an item in a shared oneDrive item is modified

Hello,

I have a file shared with me from the personal oneDrive of a colleague. I wanted to be notified every time that the file is updated. Currently I've seen the oneDrive trigger but it's using my own oneDrive which doesn't contain the file.

Thank you for the help,

    Hi @v-yamao-msft,

    Thank you for your response. I opened an idea to see if this could be implemented in the future.

    Hi sundayDriver,

     

    It seems that the Shared folder on OneDrive won’t appear when you are trying to select a folder on Flow.


    So I am afraid that for a file that shred with you, it might be not possible to trigger the flow when the file is modified in your colleague’s OneDrive account.


    If possible, you may create a connection to your colleague’s OneDrive account, your colleague could save the file in a specific folder for you, then when the file is modified, the flow will be triggered and send you a notification.


    Hope this could be a reference for you.

     

    Best regards,
    Mabel Mao
