What is the proper way to make a OneDrive folder URL?

Raymond_Camden · May 30, 2025, 3:01pm

I’m trying to build a OneDrive workflow that looks for a new file in a folder. I selected By URL, and everything I’ve tired so far has failed to validate w/ n8n.

I tried getting the URL via share, but the UI says it isn’t valid. I then tried this pattern: https://<tenant name>-my.sharepoint.com/personal/<user principal name>/Documents/Folder Name

But it returns the same issue.

Hello @Raymond_Camden,
is the goal of the workflow to locate a new file within the Drive folder?
Does it always have to find the most recent file?

The idea was for the trigger to ONLY trigger on new files in a particular folder. I know I could do that in a simple code step, but had assumed I could configure the trigger as such.

Have you tried to use trigger onedrive with “file created” right?

Yes, sorry I should have said more. So see that option for ‘Watch Folder’? That’s what I enabled.

Just checking - any help for this? I still can’t get anything to be valid in the settings when Watch Folder is used.
