Google Drive Folder created for year with a subfolder for each month

Hi @blixbookkeeping 

Good question.

I’d recommend using this naming convention for the month folders: MM-MMMM (e.g. 01-January)

Try adding this Zap action: Looping - Create Loop from Text

I want to create all 12 months. Using that feature. Will it only create January? 

@blixbookkeeping 

You can specify the values to loop.

 @Troy Tessalone i'm still so confused.

can you help me or lead me to a youtube video?

I don’t understand what these field are.

Try this…

@Troy Tessalone that loop said it works but it doesnt actually create sub folders using those names. Does that make sense? I want the folders to be named 01-January, 02-February and so on.

I have the parent folders working Lead Name>Bank Statement>2023>(THIS IS WHERE I NEED IT TO GO)

It seems the loop worked but I can’t get them to translate into folder names. Which loop drop down do I chose from the menu below?  The closest I could get is one folder with all the names. See below. 

@blixbookkeeping 

Use this variable from the Looping step for the Folder Name.

Thank you. 

IT WORKED.

I want to add the date folders to another folder.

It wont let me duplicate the loop.

When I follow the same steps to add the same loop to another folder it goes haywire. 

Is this even possible?

We would need to see updated screenshots with how your Zap steps are configured to have context.

I would like the 15 step to basically be the same as the 12th step by creating monthly folders. However when I duplicate it. It creates 12 different folders called Reports

We would need to see detailed screenshots with how each Zap step is configured.
