Re-running automations for SharePoint folder generation

When you setup the following automations on an existing board…

• Simple folder generation

• Templated folder generation

…but would like folders created in SharePoint for pre-existing items, it may be useful to do the following:

1. Create a new status column with a new status of “Create SharePoint folders”

2. Add one of the above automations which is triggered by a status change
