I am having some issues trying to build this power automation in SharePoint and could use some help!
In a nutshell, I need to keep financial information separate from common information.
Here is the current layout I have:
 
Documents-
                    A Projects--
                                       Projects---
                                                         Lake Parkway----
                                                                                     (Construction Drawings (PDF File))
                                       Project Bids---
 
I want a rule where if a user creates another project inside the "Projects" folder, it automatically creates that same folder inside the "Project Bids" folder, along with the contents inside the folder.
I have hundreds of projects with construction drawings that will be created in the "Projects" folder, and want to avoid having to create the same hundred folders inside the "Bid Projects" folder.
Using the example above, I would like it to also copy the PDF file labeled "Construction Drawings" over to the site specific folder that gets created inside the "Project Bids" folder.
It would look something similar to this I assume.

    Hi 
     
    You can use the Trigger for when a File is Created Action, but add a Trigger condition that checks the property IsFolder which will either return true or false.
    This way your Trigger only actually triggers on Folders.
     
    After that what you want to do is easy enough to Create new Folders and copy/move files.
