Hello,
My Target is that we want to relocate a file from my local storage of the laptop to a doument libary of sharepoint to use it in teams.
So the flow is supposed to start after a new file is added to a folder.
Maybe it is possible to add the file first to one drive by an action and then relocate it to Sharepoint team site document libary.
But I dont know how to start with the Power Automate Desktop
Solved! Go to Solution.
You could run the desktop flow in a loop which checks every x minutes if a file has been created or changed.
Loop
- check file list
- if changes -> copy
- wait x minutes
End
Or you could trigger the desktop flow from cloud flows: Trigger a Power Automate Desktop flow from another flow - Power Automate | Microsoft Docs
Seems like local scheduling isn't possible yet: https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Power-Automate-Ideas/Schedule-Power-Automate-Desktop-from-within...
You could simply sync/link your Sharepoint document library with the Onedrive client to your local storage and then create/edit/copy using local folders. No Power Automate required.
Oh yeah forgot this topic. But is there an option to create a desktop flow which relocate the new files after creating automatically ?
Yes, you could monitor a folder and then copy/move files to other folders or upload them using a browser or send it to an API...
But in that desktop application there is nothing when a item is added relocate ?
Right now i have only:
1. Call up the files of the files
2. Relocate files
3. And inform me
But i dont found soemthing like, start the flow after adding.
Or the second thing, is there a desktop option like in the browser application, where you can define that the flow check 3 or 4 times at a day and relocate the data.
