Hey.

I am trying to set up a flow that triggers when I update a spreadsheet.
On that trigger I want it to create a new folder and copy a google doc into that new folder.

Problem is the copying a file step won’t work. It is a Google DOc (also tried with the Google Doc action using a template).

It’s returning the error as seen below.

I uploaded my document as a google doc to google drive.
I tried building in a “find file” step as well and then referring back to it in the copying step. Didn’t work either. 

The document does not show up in the “File” section only in the custom section where I refer to my previous step of finding it.

Any solution to make the copy process work?

The path I want to create

Details of the copy step.

Hi @Sven Muchow 

Good question.

The File field expects the File ID instead of the File object.
