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 ,
If the files in the specified folder will contain the date of the day, please refer to the following method to achieve your needs.

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().

Thanks! it worked, but how do I do to stop the "Apply to each". since it sending me and email for each of the old files in the folder.
am using the below to check if a file has been created in a folder. If it hasn't been done someone's forgotten and we need an alert. Listing the folder, and the two filters give the results I'd expect. The FilterTimes uses Addhours/UTCNow(-ve) so only files newer than the threshold make it through.
However, if there are no new files, the output of the last filter is Body[] as expected, but when this get passed to the condition, I'm just getting the input of that being { "expressionResult": false}
I think I'm getting my brackets and commas wrong in the condition, or have I named the array incorrectly?
