Ideally if that folder on the server that intakes these files can get moved to a SharePoint library or to a Teams folder then you can utilize flow easily.

If you are using Teams you are using a sharepoint behind the scenes 🙂
Just set up a flow that triggers on a new file somewhere related to that Team and post a message to Teams! You can do this directly from Teams by adding the flow tab for example!

ChrisWebbTech and adam deltinger Thanks guys! I was trying a few different things, but it did seem to keep coming back to thinking I was missing something pretty big.

Thanks again and have a great week!

Although, no reason to keep them there, right? Move to SharePoint👌
