Create subfolders dynamically

Posted on by Vale_2290

Hi guys! I'm pretty new of Power Automate and I really need help.

When I register a new product in PowerApp and add the relative item in my Sharepoint List i create a new folder.

So, for example: I enter the product "XY" and with flow I create the folder "ProductXY" that contains a subfolder called "Administration".
So far everything is fine.
Now that's the problem: i need to use another flow to create a subfolder of the folder "Administration" and I don't know how to do that because I need a dynamic path because the name of the first folder changes everytime I enter a new product.

For example:

If I registrer product XY, the folders structure should be:
Product XY
Administration
NewSubFolder

If I registrer product AB, the folders structure should be:
Product AB

Administration
NewSubFolder

Do you know how to get the path PRODUCT.../Administration dynamically?

Thank you!

Hi I recomend you to send all values that you need to create with subfoldels add it in your file name. For example
File1-Administra-Person.xlsx
Then in the flow use split to separete every value and when you create file in document library use that separated values to add it as folders and subfolders.
So asume that you have already repareted values in compose conector.
Compose1 have file1.xlsx
Compose2 have Administra
Compose3 have Person
Then in create file just and in the path something like Compose2/compose3/compose1

There are two steps in the process: in the first one I create the folders Product XY and Administration.
In the second, inside Administration, I need to create the subfolder, but they are two separate operations.
So I need to understand how to get to the Administration folder to write in it.
