I am struggling to create a a subfolder in Google Shared Drive for a Scoro project. 

The steps I want to achieve are: 

  • When a Scoro project is created within the specified Google Drive find the parent folder 
  • Once the parent folder has been found find a Google Drive subfolder. If the subfolder can’t be found create it. If it has been found treat it as successful. 

Any help would be much appreciated. 

Hi @soundswitch 

To help us have full context post screenshots with how your Zap steps are outlined and configured, thanks.

 

Hi Troy 

Thank you for the assist. 

kind regards,

@soundswitch 

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

Parent Folder expects the GDrive Parent Folder ID.

 

 

What would I have to do to get this to create new sub-folder within a specified folder. 

 

Additionally, how to I create a filter that can identify with a parent folder exists. 

  • If the parent folder exists then create the subfolder 
  • If the parent folder does not exist create the parent folder and the subfolder with the correct naming attributes. 

Hi @soundswitch 

The Zap step logic is already configured like this:

  • GDrive - Find/Create Folder (Parent)
    • This step will return an ID of the Folder
  • GDrive - Create Folder (Sub)
    • Map the returned ID of the Folder from the previous step

 

 

Hi Troy, 

I’m not a pro when it comes to Zapier. 

How do I map an ID? 

Kind regards,

Mike 

@soundswitch 

Same concept as is shown in your screenshots, just need to map the ID returned from the GDrive step for the Parent Folder.

 

I tried this and got an error back. It could find or create the folder. I have also tried with just creating the folder and it didn’t work. 

 

@soundswitch 

Try selecting a Parent Folder form the dropdown list.

Check the field description for guidance.
