Finding missing SharePoint subfolders

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by vitoman58 6

This one is puzzling me so hoping someone can help.

I have s SP document library with multiple top level folders. Each top level folder should have the same subfolders within it. However, a couple of subfolders with specific names are missing from some of the top-level folders.

So I'm hoping to have a flow that tells me which top-level folders don't contain those folders so I can subsequently add them.

An example of what should be there is shown below but sometimes the BIM subfolder is missing.

    @vitoman58 ,

    You can use the "Create file" action in Power Automate to dynamically generate subfolders by iterating through a list of folder names. Power Automate will intelligently bypass folders that already exist while creating any that are missing.

    Create New Folder only creates if the folder exists. If the folder already exists it won't create any error or delete the existing folder.
