Pretty new user here. My team has a repetitive task that needs automating.

We have 500 clients. Each client has a separate folder. Ever year, user must create a copy of this excel file template into the client folder. This is very tedious. I'm trying to create a button that will just copy the excel file to the current open folder.

This is what I have so far. How do I get this flow to copy to the current open folder instead of the "shared document" directory? Thanks for your help

Hi,
There's a way to get all the folders in bulk and then copy the files to those folders. I wrote all the details here:

Is this what you need?
Cheers

Re: How to use "current folder" as destination folder for automation

I ran into this issue recently so I could pipeline some info into a PowerShell script. and couldn't find a "perfect" solution... I ended up sending it to a SharePoint document folder and had OneDrive fetch it. That way it could be manipulated locally.

Let me know if that applies in this situation.
