SharePoint Trigger

Trigger workflows when files are created or updated in SharePoint.

Overview

Start a workflow when files are created or updated in SharePoint. The trigger polls the watched site/folder on a schedule and emits one workflow run per new or changed file.

Configuration

  • Connection — any SharePoint credential (OAuth, App-Only, or NTLM)
  • Site — site path or Site ID; blank uses the credential default / root (ignored for NTLM)
  • Folder Path — folder to watch; blank watches the drive root (or Shared Documents for NTLM)
  • Filters — restrict by file type(s) and/or a name substring

Trigger Data

Each run exposes the matched file under $trigger.file:

  • {{$trigger.file.file_name}} — file name
  • {{$trigger.file.file_url}} — file URL
  • {{$trigger.file.file_id}} — file ID
  • {{$trigger.file.file_type}} — extension
  • {{$trigger.file.modified_date}} — last modified timestamp

Pair with the SharePoint Get File action to pull the file's text for downstream processing.
