Hi,

 

This is not currently possible. File watcher functionality is coming, though unsure if Sharepoint connectivity will be supported in this context. Another possibility might be to "roll your own" using REST API endpoints, but these are not yet exposed.

 

For now, best is to schedule a workflow to execute at some point after you are confident that the data has been updated.
