Copy a file in OneDrive

I would like to copy a file in OneDrive.  The purpose is to create a template every week and use an existing file as the basis. 

So, I would like to copy MyTemplate.ppt and create it as MyNewFile-YYYY-MM-DD.ppt.

Any idea what I need to set up to make this work?

Hi @bradleyd 

I would try starting with a flow similar to below. 

Trigger: Schedule by Zapier (set this to run each week)
Action: Find File in OneDrive (search for the template file)
Action: Upload File in OneDrive (upload the file retrieved from the search step but with a new name)

I hope that helps guide you in the right direction!
