Hi John,

Which part are you having trouble with? Is Flow erroring at some point (if so, in what way)? Also, you mentioned in your subject "from a local share" and "on a schedule", but in your message I think you're saying the user would select a document from a SharePoint document library on which to run the flow...

Can you describe your scenario and problem a bit more please?

Thanks,

Sandy

Hello Sandy,

Thanks for the reply. I did finally figure it out. I needed to start with the Flow template 'Complete a custom action for the selected file'. I also added a couple of additional steps that get information from the selected file, copy's the file to the other document library and send an email to a receiving person if it is successful and one to the send if it fails. If it is successful it does change the status for the sending document.

Thanks,
John
