Setting up a zap where the trigger is New OneDrive file. I need it to monitor a specific folder on my OneDrive but when I’m configuring the folder, I select the parent folder and then it doesnt load any Subfolders even though there are many. I’ll click, +Load More a bunch of times and it might populate one folder but never the full list of subfolders.

Hi ​@FrankP 

Help links for using OneDrive in Zaps: https://zapier.com/apps/onedrive/integrations#help

 

Can you post more screenshots showing how your Zap trigger step is configured for the other fields?

@Troy Tessalone  - Thanks for the response, here is the screenshot showing the configuration, I’m really just on the first step of the zap, first configuration.

@FrankP 

If you know the folder ID, you can try setting a static value using the [...] button.

Thank you ​@Troy Tessalone  but I’ve researched and can’t find a way to get the Folder ID.

@FrankP 

For dropdown fields, each option to select has 2 values:

  • Top: friendly label
  • Bottom: internal ID the fields expects

 

Can you post screenshots showing the available dropdown options so we can see the format of the dropdown option values?

Might be able to derive the static value to set.

Hey ​@FrankP,

Try advanced search action in Dropbox to find the Folder ID’s.

Hope it helps!

Hi there ​@FrankP 👋 Did you have any luck with that Advanced Search action Sparsh or the approach Troy suggested?

Let us know if you still need any help at all!

@SamB Thanks for checking, no we had to build it a different way and scratch the idea of monitoring this subfolder. There’s a glitch in the Zapier interface where it doesn’t load OneDrive subfolders.
