Posted on by AHILLCC

I have created a sharepoint list and created a power automation that creates a new folder in a sharepoint location when an new item is added. I'd like to force that folder name to a column "customer name" when it is created. Is there a way to do this?

The automation:

You can see the folder has been created.

I would like for the folder to be named the same value as the column "Customer Name" which is entered when the new item is created.

Any suggestions would be helpful! Thank you

Thanks David, in working with your solution, I actually found a way that worked better for me. I just pulled dynamic content when I created the folder. Works like a charm. I appreciate your response!
