Use the Automation If Block to check if a newly created folder has a specific name

[Rhys Gottwald]

Hello, I am sure that I can do this, I am just not sure how, but if I create an automation that is to execute when a new folder is created, how do I I use the folder name in an if block, do I use the Page Title smart value?

Hi @Rhys Gottwald 

With the new Folder Created trigger, my testing last week showed the only smart value returned is {{folder.id}} and that one is not in the documentation yet.  (neither is the trigger).

To get the folder's name, you could use the Send Web Request action to call the REST API endpoint to get the folder's title.  If you want to try that, here are references to help:

Get Folder By ID endpoint: https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/v2/api-group-folder/#api-folders-id-get

Kind regards,

Hi Rhys,

Unfortunately there are currently no smartvalues to access the properties of the recent Folder content type. This issue is addressed here, if you want to vote for the suggestion:

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-80608

What are you trying to achieve?
