SharePoint - New/updated file in folder hierarchy trigger (large site)

The New/updated file in folder hierarchy (large site) trigger detects new or modified files within your SharePoint folder hierarchy. It checks for changes at each polling interval and processes each file as a separate job.

Use this trigger when monitoring a folder within a large SharePoint site that has more than 5,000 files.

TRIGGER DOESN'T RETRIEVE PAST EVENTS

This trigger doesn't retrieve updates made before the recipe starts. It only detects changes from the moment the recipe begins running. If your folder isn't in a large site, consider using the New/updated file in folder hierarchy trigger instead.

Input

Input field	Description
Trigger poll interval	Specify how frequently to check for new events. Defaults to five minutes if left blank. The minimum value allowed is five minutes.
Site name	Provide the name of the SharePoint site you plan to connect to. If left blank, Workato connects to the default home site specified in your connection settings. The site name is located in the URL of the site page. For example, if the URL is https://company-name.sharepoint.com/sites/product, the site name is product. Alternatively, to connect to a different site, you can provide an absolute URL to override the base URL. For example, entering https://company-name.sharepoint.com/teams/product connects Workato to the specified site directly.
Document library	Select the specific document library to monitor for new or updated files.
