File observer not observing

[Lucy]

Hey.. i got a flow with file observer as trigger. Several different files and directories under the trigger actually. Anyway, it does not always have the events sent to automagic. The files being observed are heavily used but very rarely does my flow pick up the changes. Any idea what i can do?

I also experience frequent not working file observer. Sometimes have to stop automagic and start it again, sometimes disable/enable the flow is sufficient to get it working. But the events still not so reliable. So most of the time I find other method to achieve my purpose. Maybe you should tell us what you want to achieve first, then we can see if there is other way around it.

Ugh. Thank you for replying to this query but i think we have come to the conclusion with another thread that file observer is not best suited for monitoring due to certain apps behaviors.
