Hello @eden ,

you can use the 'Received Time', but you must format it using the formatDateTime(...) expression. If you use the full 'Received Time' it contains also the time, and the time includes : character = invalid character in folder name.

Use formatDateTime(...) to format the date into the desired format 'ddMMyyyy'.

formatDateTime(triggerOutputs()?['body/receivedDateTime'],'ddMMyyyy')

And you should add also the / before the expression to use it as a folder name.
