Send a notification

The Flow Notifications app (flow_notifications) provides the Send a notification Flow operation. Users can configure it to receive notifications when events match their conditions. The operation is available for personal flows, not system-wide flows.

Prerequisites

The Flow Notifications and Notifications apps must be installed and enabled. Personal flows must also be enabled by the administrator.

Configuration

In personal settings, open Flow and add a Send a notification flow. Choose an event and conditions, and optionally provide a title prefix. All conditions in a rule group must match for the group to trigger.

For example, select File updated and add a MIME type condition of application/pdf. With the optional title “PDF updated”, the flow can notify the user when another user updates a matching PDF they can access.

Considerations

Notifications are skipped when the current session user is the flow owner. For example, a user updating a file in their own session will not receive a notification through their own flow.

For the available Flow conditions, see Available rules.
