I am attempting to scan a Google shared folder (with many subfolders), find any html files that contain a specific url link (i.e. https://protect-us.mimecast) attached to a word string with the file and remove it?  

Example:

find: testing.co 

remove: testing.co

Appreciate any help.

@mbernal3 confirming the url is in the file, not the file name?

Hi @mbernal3 

Make sure to check the available GDrive Zap app triggers/actions to help determine the feasibility of your use case:

Yes, in the file. Not the file name.

NOTE: Zaps work when turned ON for new/updated data going forward.

 Try these Zap steps:

  1. Trigger: GDrive - New File
  2. Action: Filter
  3. Action: Formatter > Text > Replace
  4. Action: GDrive - Replace File
