I am facing issue while creating a folder in sharepoint
image
In the destination folder I am unable to pass the value as string…how to convert the string to drive item?

@Ritaman_Baral

First use find files /Folder activity and find the folder where you want to create and the output of find files/folders is a driveitem which can be passed here

in query - give the final folder name - folder3
in sub folder give the path from first folder till the folder you need - folder1/folder2

in find files or folders use first occurance output else you will get all matched as list of drive items and you need to sue driveitem(0) to get the first

Hope this helps

cheers

if my folder is not there then what to pass in destination folder?

4

If my folder is not there I will create anew folder…I am using find folders activity to check

5

@Ritaman_Baral

If folder itself is not there then first you need to create a folder …even for create folder you need to specify where to create using drive item…which should get the folder where you want to create the folder

so while creating in the “Destination Folder” hoew to pass variable ? string variable is not taking

@Ritaman_Baral

You need to use one more find folder activity to find atleast one folder where you want to create your folder…atleast one folder should be present upfront fo your to use

then the output of find files is what can be used in destination folder as drive item

@Ritaman_Baral

If required folder is not found then use another find files/Folders and query for one folder above that is say you are searching for folder3 which is under folder2…if folder 3 is not found then use find files for folder2 and pass the output of second find files to create folder3

Hope this is clear

cheers

didnt get it…is there a way to convert string to drive item?

11

@Ritaman_Baral

No You cannot

let me explain

say your sharepoint folders are liek this folder1/folder2/requiredfolder

  1. use find files for requiredfolder
  2. if found can proceed further with the drive item output
  3. if not found then on else side use find files again but now find for folder2 instead of requiredfolder
  4. after that use the output of step3 to create the requiredfolder and the output of create folder can be used further

cheers
