Hello all.
I have a simple flow that adds a file (create) when an email with an attachment arrives to my inbox.
This emails are sent daily, so every attachment has a new name, since the date is added to the file name.
What I need is to set an alarm or notification if the folder is not updated, meaning the email failed to arrive with the attachment.
Any ideas??
thx!!!

Hi @Dybarna ,

Hope it helps.
Best Regards,
AS long as you know what the base of the file name is you could do this by creating a Flow triggered by a daily recurrence. Then build the name of the file in a variable and try to retrieve the properties of the file. If it is successsful then the file arrived. If not, (Status code = 404) then you can send your alert.
Thanks!
I am pretty new on this. I got stuck here.
Where can build the variable with file name?
Hi @Dybarna
You can also check on a scheduled flow which runs daily to check if any file has been created in last 24 hours
If no file created -> no attachment was added
and you can notify yourself
odata query
Created ge 'addDays(utcNow(),-1)'
where addDays(utcNow(),-1) is an expression

For the file name you can build using an Initialize Variable action and a formula that concatentates the basefilename with a custom formatted date using Now().
