How to apply a flow to each folder

[Anonymous]

Generaly the case is:

1. Robot puts X folders into sharepoint.

2. My flow uses that folders to run process.

3. I want to use my flow to each folder.

Any ideas? The amount of folder can be different.

Hi @Anonymous 

If you are looking to iterate the folders please follow the below steps.

You can't iterate folders within subfolders.

To run the above flow you need to define the trigger according to your requirement.

Hi abm, what is listed in the site address and file identifier in list folder 3? Without giving away the entire URL. I tried the same Flow but my last step is returning a message "The response is not in a JSON format". 

Also, is it true that you cannot iterate folders within subfolders? I'm currently trying to do this inside of the same Flow.

Thanks!

Hi @angelrodriguez 

Without seeing your flow its not easy to determine what the issue is? A screenshot may help.

Regarding subfolders what I meant is you can't iterate subfolders within subfolders recursively.

I have a SharePoint folder named COPAS 2020 inside of my Shared Documents folder. Inside of the COPAS 2020 folder are department folders, 8 in all. Inside of each department folders is an employee folder with an Excel sheet inside of each.

What I'm ultimately trying to do is loop through the dept folders and get to each employee folder to grab that Excel file but I'm stuck at trying to get to each employee folder.

Here are some images of the folder structure:

Here's my Flow so far:

you can use folder and subfolders rule.
