Automated copy of files from one Sharepoint to another

Hi All,

 

Not sure if what I'm trying to do is possible at all but hoping to get some guidance as I'm quite new to Automate. So for context a client has a folder structure like so:

 

Library

- Projects

--- Electrical

--- Sewer

--- Water

 

And underneath these 3 core folders they have job folders with unique identifiers like so:

 

-Electrical

--- Job 1234

--- Job 12345

--- Job 123456

 

And again underneath those job folders, there are more folders that they utilise for all their projects:

 

-Job 1234

--- Documents

--- Plans

--- Photos

--- Emails

--- Quote

 

As this library is quite large and as you can imagine quite difficult to navigate with the many folders we are looking at having Power Automate in play to copy the newly created job folders as they come into the Electrical, Sewer and Water folders to another smaller SP site so it's easier to sync and users can have it readily available and downloaded on their mobile devices. The catch is the example I have given is a condensed version but there's roughly 10-20 folders per Project folder and we only want 5-10 from that list to copy to the other site for mobile users.

 

So a quick summary, I would like to see if Power Automate can look at a folder/subfolder, and only copy the same 5-10 folders from each job folder onto a new SP site, creating a new folder for itself with the job number (ie. Job 1234) for all existing and new project jobs. It's a bit convoluted and I think it's ultimately going to be too specific to automate, but I'm hoping someone can help.
