Automated Template Folder Creation

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by
Hey, I am new to Power Automate (started using it yesterday) and I can't seem to figure out how to do something that, at least to me, seems pretty simple. My company recently started using SharePoint instead of a physical server and I am trying to automate folder template creation so I don't have to do it manually anymore. So, what I would like to happen is when someone modifies an existing template folder (changing the folder name for example) a new template folder is automatically created to replace the one that was taken. Below is our basic file structure:
 
Company Folder 
     > Projects
          > 26000s
               > Template Folder
                    > Subfolder
                         > Subfolder
 
The template folders exist in the 26000s folder and I want the modification trigger to be isolated to the 26000s folder and not be triggered on any modifications in subfolders withing the template folders. I have tried using "When a file is created or modified in a folder (deprecated)" but, it only seems to work on files and not folders (unless I am doing something wrong). I have a master template folder that I am using to copy into the 26000s for the folder creation, my issue is getting the trigger to work the way I want it to. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
