I am trying to save a word file into a Google Drive Folder. The folder is created in Step 2 of my Zap. I have tried countless different ways of locating and saving/copying/uploading the file to said folder, but no matter what, the file never gets to the folder. 

I assume the Zap is not finding the dynamically named folder. Neither me nor the AI Bot can overcome what seems to be a simple solution. 

Below are screenshots of various ‘coding’ I have attempted. 

In the first screenshot you will see my current set of steps. 

The second screenshot is when I try to copy the file to the folder created from “Results” in Step 2.

Third screenshot is when I try to copy the file to the nomenclature from Step 1 and Step 2. 

The AI bot also set the folder label to “root” however this did not work. 

 

Hi ​@nicole3779 

The GDrive Folder field expects the Folder ID rather than the Folder name.

Click the field label to see a tooltip with more info.

Where do I get the file id? That is not an option (see below). Also, wouldn’t the file id be different for each newly created folder?

The Folder ID should come from the GDrive Zap step that created the Folder.

Looks like you are using a GDrive Custom Action so that may need to be adjusted to return the created Folder ID.
