Hi @72Zib ,

You can use the when a file is created trigger and the IsFolder property.

It will return true if its a folder

Hi @72Zib ,

Sure.

Use the concat() expression and replace xxxx with the name from your trigger

@concat('EDU',triggerOutputs()?['body/{Name}'],'@edu.cbc'

Hi @72Zib ,

Please refer to my post here.

There may be an easier way but you could use an if() expression to check the length() of the folder name. If 1, then concat() 000, If 2, then concat() 00 etc. Will be a pretty long expression.

You could also use conditions or a switch statement.
