Leverage a "drop" folder so when a document is moved from folder to folder (e.g. cloud storage), each folder represents states. The folders/states indicate what needs to be done. It would be ideal if we had the capacity through MS Flow to: 1. Action - Search through a Word document for keywords or phrases 2. Action - Based on section, or other defined divider within a Word document, action can manipulate text, e.g. search and replace, but not just a single phrase, throughout the document;

Hi all. MS Flow is awasome. After a few flows, I ned a new action for Trello. "Trello: When a Card has moved" Board ID List ID It is similar to "When a new card is added to a list" but what if you drag an existing card to the list. That is, what I want to trigger/detect. best regards Ingo

Currently, it is possible to trigger a Flow (A) from a Flow (B). However, Flow A does not have a start trigger to only start when triggered from another Flow. I know we can use the 'When a HTTP request is received' trigger and even the 'Flow button' but I have specific Flows that only run as subroutines for other Flows and I want to limit the possibility to inadvertently or maliciously start that subroutine. My suggestion: create a 'When a Flow is triggered by another Flow' trigger action. Ideally, with the option to specify which Flow is allowed to start the subroutine for added insurance.

Please allow us to use/add more than one 'from'email addresses for 1 'When a new email arrives' trigger. At the moment, I have to create at least 3 identical flows because the trigger can only validate 1 email address. This is a waste of resources and time, especially if I want to tweak/make changes to the flow then I have to repeat the same thing 3 times each time. So, please let us specify more than 1 'FROM' email address for a 'When a new email arrives' trigger, thanks.

Subject says it all. It would be helpful to be able to trigger a flow by flagging an email for follow up. I'd like to be able to add these emails to a Wunderlist to follow up on later.

Trigger: Outlook.com - When a new contact is created It would be geat to enable contact syncing between outlook and CRM via flow. It is important that, long-term, we have filters and conditions around this as it may not be something I want to trigger for every contact I create in outlook.com

I would like to trigger if an email is sent from a shared mailbox. Usecase: When an email arrives in the shared mailbox the inbox date is stored in an sharepoint list. With this new trigger it would be possible to track when the resonse to this email was sent from the shared mailbox. This enables me to track the response times for incoming emails and eventually build a semiautomated ticketing system with PowerApps based on a sharepoint list.

it will be very productive to have the chance to move an email to diferent folders depending on what category was assigned to it. Thanks

We need triggers for Microsoft To Do so, for example, when a task is marked complete we can have that task's information (including subtasks) added to a Word document, or OneNote notebook as marked complete. I also would like some integration with ToDo and Project

See title. Right now there is a trigger for a new page in a specific section - this is not very flexible. I would like to be able to get a trigger for a new page at any level in a notebook (section group or section or entire notebook).

In addition to standard triggers for posted messages such as available for Yammer, but also requested for Teams here, it would be great to have a bookmark trigger. For example: I use one location for all my reading material, whether it's a blog, documentation or a Yammer/Teams post that requests my attention/response at a later time. That location is Instapaper for me, but could also be Pocket for example for others. It would be nice to be able to have a Flow trigger when I bookmark something in Teams or Yammer and have it add the link to that post in Instapaper.

When I create new SharePoint pages, it takes a while to prepare the page for publication. I need a trigger when the new page is first published, rather than when it is created. For example, I want to notify users that the new page is published. Sending the notification earlier, when the page is created, leads to confusion.

Microsoft Forms trigger has Split On = Off by default. This means every Form trigger starts with an array of usually 1 response, and the Flow is unecessarily complex because of an extra for-each right from the beginning. I see this was the result of part of the fix since 2017-10. https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Microsoft-Flow-Community-Blog/We-are-fixing-Microsoft-Forms-connector-delays/bc-p/61611/highlight/true#M77 I think the trigger should default to Split On = true. Since that makes a much easier Flow. See pictures here: https://twitter.com/johnnliu/status/1028565758920421377

Can you please add a comment section on flow for this property? For example i want to update a task comment when a new comment is created on bitbucket. By the way when a comment is added to bitbucket it seems as update on issue. So i can pull that comment string with "When an issue updated" trigger.

For email accounts that are sending a lot of automated emails, it would be great to have a trigger for any NDRs received so they can be routed to a queue for processing like, for example, a Wunderlist task list or a SharePoint list. Other users would then contact the recipients to fix their email address.

When a new contact, company or deal is added to OCM then this could triger automations towards other tools and e-mail communications e.g. producing standard terms and conditions e-mails.

Would it be possible for there to be a trigger when a pupil completes a task in an already created page? Could you, for example, use the checkbox button, and when it is clicked, signalling a task is done, you get a notification? You can then check the work rather than having to keep checking and waiting? In the (crude) example, the pupils would be completing a task in his/her own notebook. When they tick the box, I get a notification saying "Joe Bloggs has completed (Page title)". Something like that?

Our workflow causes us to routinely share files on OneDrive for Business, but there isn't a way to trigger actions when a new file is saved and also when a file is updated. Both are very valuable to let people understand as updates get made.

In many cases, the only message I get back when I initially setup a flow,and it runs for the first time is "Trigger failed". It would be very helpful to get more granular details on why the trigger failed
