Send different email if file is created or changed

[Dan2805]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to build a flow to send two different emails.

• One should be sent if a new file is copied (created) into a SharePoint folder
  
  
• another if one existing file gets changed / overwritten

I manged to set two individual flows, and they work. However, the one "When an item or a file is modified" also triggers when adding a new file which end up in two separate emails. 

I also tried it with one flow and checking the dates (if changed is bigger that created) however, that also triggers yes whatever I'm doing. 

Tanks for your help 🙂

Try using the following trigger:

When a file is created or modified (properties only) - Triggers when an item is created, or modified in a library

If you are interested in comparing dates:

The flow will also trigger if the item's meta data is changed - such as renaming the file or changing any columns fields associated with the library.

That works very well! 

Thank you so much!
