Creating a file and folder trigger
- Updated: 2025/05/13
Create an event trigger that starts an automation when you perform a predefined action such as creating, deleting, renaming, or modifying a file or a folder.
The file modification trigger executes during two types of events:
- When a file is modified
- When a file is copied and pasted
This procedure is for a scenario where you want to trigger an automation when a user
modifies a document called Product info.docx.
Note:
- This scenario is for a user with Bot Creator role.
For information about how a user with a Bot Runner role can link event triggers, see Linking event triggers to a Bot Runner.
- The File and Folder trigger does not support NAS servers.
