i am using power automate web with sharepoint.
i have built a flow that triggers when a file is created in sharepoint library.
the purpose is to automatically extract any uploaded zip files in sharepoint, therefore i used the trigger "when a file is created ( properties only)", but the problem is when the zip file is extracted automatically with "extract folder" action then the flow will be triggered again for each extracted file or folder.
did anybody have a solution for this problem? or what the recommended methode to go with?

Hi,

Step-by-Step Fix

1. Keep your current trigger

“When a file is created (properties only)”

2. Add a Trigger Condition (in settings)

This makes sure the flow runs only when a .zip file is uploaded, and skips everything else.

Expression:

endsWith(triggerOutputs()?['body/{FilenameWithExtension}'], '.zip')

How to add it:

Click on the trigger

Go to … (3 dots) > Settings

Scroll to Trigger Conditions

Paste the above expression

Save the flow
