automate folder creation/naming

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 2

Hi,

I use SharePoint and often have to create a folder with the same name (let's say "Client Documents") in various subfolders/directories in my company's SharePoint database.

I'd like to be able to automate this task with the click of a button so I don't have to type in the same folder name each time.

I tried using Power Automate, but two problems:

1. It asks which directory I want to create the folder in, but this isn't helpful. I don't want to create a folder in the same directory each time; rather, I want to create a folder with a fixed name in many different directories, when I have them open.

2. I can't see any field in the Power Automate flow creation steps where I can write the name that I want the automatically-created folder to have.

Any suggestions for how to accomplish this?
