I’m trying to start a zap that searches Box for a folder based on an field from a trigger. Say the name is “Test Project.”
So “Find a Folder” Box connector should search the designated Parent Folder for a folder called “Test Project” and respond with a true or false. However it keeps coming back with folders that have nothing to do with the name “Test Project.”
Any Suggestions?

May have to explore using a different drive app. (e.g. GDrive, Dropbox, etc.)
The Box Zap app integration does not appear to have these advanced action options:
May have to explore advanced approaches using a Box Dev integration to be able to do more advanced searching on Folders.

Help us have more info by posting screenshots with how your Zap steps are outlined and configured in EDIT mode with the field mappings visible.
The search may be using fuzzy/partial matching rather than exact matching.
Here’s the Data in/out for a test
In this case - the subject is “project 123” as a test.
And it found it successful with a project named “Minnesota Project.”
