Question

Logic App Sharepoint file-in-folder trigger deprecated

Alexis LUCIDO 31

Hi all,

We are using Logic App to move data from a Sharepoint folder to an Azure Blob Storage.

We were using the Sharepoint trigger "When a file is created or modified in a folder". Unfortunately, this trigger has been deprecated and does not work anymore (i.e., when a file is indeed created or modified, no further action is done after running the trigger).

What could we do to keep the same architecture of moving data around from Sharepoint to Blob Storage through the non-deprecated Logic App triggers? I have been through the other triggers, but none of them seem to correspond to our use case. We could use a trigger pointing directly at a file, but as we have many files to move in the same folder, we would have to create many Logic Apps and that is not how we want to do it.

Thank you in advance,
Alexis

Hi @Alexis LUCIDO

You mentioned "We are using Logic App to move data from a Sharepoint folder to an Azure Blob Storage"

You can use "When a file is created or modified in a folder (properties only)" along with "Get File content"

The documentation does mention "When a file is created or modified in a folder (properties only)":

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/business-apps/power-automate/sharepoint-connector-actions-triggers#when-a-file-is-created-or-modified-in-a-folder-properties-only

I couldn't find that but I see you can add the folder param in "When a file is created or modified (properties only)"

When looking first for a trigger I wondered about this one, but the fact that I could not seem to select a precise folder made me look for an easier solution, as below:

But this is what I have been using in the end. The only minor issue is that I cannot specified a library other than "Documents" in the trigger "When the file is created or modified". I have then added a condition afterwards, so the workflow carries on if and only if a file has been modified in a certain folder. Then I use the Get File Content block to do so. Thank you for your answer!

When comes down to out of the box triggers, that was the first one I could think. You can also use timer trigger together with the http trigger invoking the graph api, but that may take more work to setup
