I'm trying to build a Power Automate flow that triggers whenever a file is added to a specific SharePoint folder. The goal is: if the added file is a PDF, it should be sent as an email attachment.

So far, I’ve:

Created the trigger: “When a file is created in a folder” (SharePoint)
Added a condition to check if the file type is P

However, the flow doesn’t work as expected. No emails are sent, regardless of whether the uploaded file is a PDF, Excel, or Word document. There are no error messages or suggestions in the flow, it just silently fails. Has anyone successfully built a flow like this? Could you share how you structured it or suggest what I might be missing?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @DM-30101910-0

In your condition you’re currently using something like:

headers/x-ms-file-last-modified is equal to .pdf

That’s not correct — this expression is checking a file header instead of the file name.

Please try this instead:

endsWith(triggerBody()?['{FilenameWithExtension}'], '.pdf')

This expression correctly checks whether the uploaded file’s name ends with “.pdf”.
