Create a folder for a dynamic SharePoint site using Flow

[wischbone]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to create a specific folder for a  given SharePoint site when a certain condition happens.  The scenario is that we have many SP sites so when I need to create this folder, the first step is to determine what SP site it needs to be created under which will be dynamic and determined during the Flow process based on the customer (i.e. the site).  I have tried using the new Create Folder action for SP in flow and using a variable for the site URL that I gather during the flow but it errors and the folder never gets created.

Any ideas of how to resolve this?

Much thanks,

Donald Wisch

Hello @wischbone 

In the "Create Support Case Folder" action, the list or library parameter should only be "Shared%20Documents", and then the folder path should be "General/Support/Case Number". Could you try this?

Hope it helps!

Hi @wischbone 

You should be able to pass dynamic values and create folders. I have tested this and working as expected.

Couple of things to debug this.

1. Select the site address from the dropdownlist

2. Select the list or library from the dropdownlist

Try to run this and see if that works. This should work because we have hardcoded all the values using dropdown lists.

Next copy the exact content from the drop down lists (Site - https onwards) and copy the value under the string variable then map the dynamic content.

Let me know how it goes.

Thanks

Hi @wischbone ,

When you configure Site Address and List or Library filed, it is recommended to choose Site and Library from Dropdown list.

If the library is Document Library, you could click Enter Custom value and manually input Documents in List or Library.

Like:

Besides, when you configure Folder Path, please ensure the General and Support folder exists.

Please take a try again and feel free to let us know if you have any questions.

Best Regards,
