Hello Make community,
I’m trying to create a scenario in Make.com that will rename multiple folders within a parent folder in Google Drive according to a specific text format. Here’s what I’m aiming to achieve:
- Access a specific parent folder in Google Drive
- Identify all subfolders within this parent folder
- Rename each subfolder based on a predetermined text format
I’m relatively new to Make.com and finding it challenging to work with the Google Drive modules and data manipulation required for this task.
Could someone please provide step-by-step guidance on how to set up this scenario? Specifically, I’d appreciate help with:
- Which modules to use and in what order
- How to iterate through the subfolders
- How to apply the renaming logic to each folder
Any examples, tips, or resources would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help!
Welcome to the Make community!
Is it a one-time thing, or should also apply to new files too?
If it’s one-time, it might be easier to sync the drive locally and perform the bulk rename using software.
Otherwise, I would suggest completing the Make Academy before jumping into building a complete scenario.
If you need specific assistance when you are building a scenario it’s easier to help you then.
Otherwise, you can also hire a professional by posting in the #solution-exchange:professional-services category.
Here are some useful links and guides you can use to learn more on how to use the Make platform, apps, and app modules. I found these useful when I was learning Make, and hope they might benefit you too —
