Simple folder generation

When a new item is created in monday.com, create a new folder in SharePoint.

These automation recipes allow users to create a new folder for their work activities and store all files and folders related to a monday.com item in a preconfigured location within SharePoint Online.

These automations are called by the following triggers

1. When an item is created in a board.

2. When the status of an item in a board changes to something.

When either of these triggers is called, a new folder will be created in SharePoint, in the designated location.

The automations work with the Secure Embed • Microsoft 365 item view feature to display the newly created folder and files in a view for the item.

If the automation has been executed successfully, the Secure Embed • Microsoft 365 item view will automatically be configured to point at the newly created folder and cannot be configured manually.

How the automations works

Here’s a walkthrough video to show how the automations feature work:

This automation runs in a non-destructive manner.

If the automation has already been run, it will create a new folder with the name Item Name (Item ID) Number (where Number is a number starting at 1) and configure the Secure Embed item view to point to the new folder. The original folder named Item Name (Item ID) will remain on the SharePoint site.
