How do I add the same subfolder to multiple folders in Sharepoint?

[Drdunne]

I have about 200 folders that all need a "Historical" folder. I've figured out how to create a flow for one, but obviously don't want to create 200 flows to create 200 folders once. I've been trying to iterate through the list of folders with the Get Files (Properties) command, but I keep getting errors. Here is what I have so far,

Hello @Drdunne 

Check out this flow:

That worked! Thank you. Follow-up question, How am I supposed to know or find out what the outputs are for these functions?

[Jcook]

Great!
Sorry what functions did you want to know the output of?

[Drdunne]

Any functions that I might use in the future? Are they all defined or listed somewhere? For example I used "Get Files (properties only)" assuming I would get a list of titles, but I was wrong. I had to use "List Folder". How can I double-check, or ensure I'm using the correct function?

So, for example if you wanted to see what the outputs were for Get Files - Properties only, I would add the action than trigger the flow, than look at the outputs.
If the outputs are big, I usually copy paste the outputs and put them into a code editor like VS Code or even notepad++.
It just makes it easier to read.

It all comes down to trial and error.

That's what I was looking for. I usually write code in a notebook in blocks and ensure each step gives me the correct results before moving on. I wasn't able to see how to do that in Power Automate/Flow. Thanks!!

Sorry, Where do the outputs "Come out?" If I trigger "Get Files (properties only)" like in my original post, Where do I get the list of properties?

Yea no problem,

So the outputs would be in the flow run under body. Its all in JSON.

The window is not very big, which is why I always put into a code editor.

I see! OK. This helps quite a bit. Thank you so much.

No problem!

Hi @Jcook,

how can I apply this to a folder inside the Documents folder? So pretty much the subsub folder?
