Fast Field Forms and Box

I have created a zap that creates a folder on a Box account and I created another that saves a text file on Box. What I'd really like to do is save the PDF and photos saved by Fast Field Forms and saved them to Box in a specific folder.

Is there a way to do that?

Hey @Rbray! To do this, you'll actually want to create a single Zap with the following steps:

  1. FastField Mobile Forms "New Form Submission" Trigger
  2. Box "Create Folder" Action
  3. Box "Upload File" Action

When you get to step 3, Box will ask you to choose a folder. Instead of selecting one from the drop-down, you'll need to choose the "Use a Custom Value" option from the bottom of the drop-down list. That will allow you to insert the "Folder ID" field from step 2 to dynamically upload files to the folder you just created. 😊

Let us know if that's helpful and if you have any other questions around this!
