Sharepoint delete rtf file when document is created

[Godmaster]

Hello eveybody !

There is no way to block extension file in sharepoint so I would like to create a workflow to delete all .rtf file when they are put in the document librairy by the user +  an email " document .rtf are not allowed"

Thks y !

Yes, this is a fairly easy Flow and would look something like this:

Please note, that I am using the condition to compare the File name with extension (red boxes) definition with "contains" rtf (green box).

Unfortunately, this extension definition is only available via the Get files (properties only) action, which creates a an Apply to each loop. Depending on the size of your Document Library, this may cause performance issues.

Hi @Godmaster ,

The method provided by Brad has basically solved your problem. It is recommended to replace contains with ends with. And replace current item in Delete file with Identifier.

The workflow works very well 🙂
Last question, can i apply this workflow on many librairies, site or subsite ?
The worflow pointed on a single single librairy only ?

Thks you !
