Hey there!
I’m trying to work out how to update a SharePoint folder name when the same name is updated in Monday.com. I am able to update a calendar event but I’ve hit a wall with updating the name of the folder in SP. Any ideas and resolutions welcome!
Hello @AJC_2019,
Let me ask some clarifying questions about the problem you’re trying to solve and I hope you will get some answers.
Are you saying there’s a field in Monday whose value is the name of a folder that should already exist in Sharepoint?
And when you change the field value (name of the folder) in Monday, you want to find the folder in SharePoint and rename it there as well?
If so, you’ll need to have a reference to that SharePoint folder in Monday, like a unique ID, something more specific and unique than just the name of that folder.
I am not familiar with Monday, but if you were to change a field’s value and that is the trigger for the scenario, then the scenario might only receive the new name. In this case, how would the scenario know which folder in Sharepoint needs to be changed?

Hey @Donald_Mitchell, thanks for your reply.
To answer your questions:
-
Yes the item’s name in Monday.com is the same as the folder name in Sharepoint.
-
Yes exactly that

I do have a reference in Monday.com that is from when the folder was created. I have the Items ID & Site ID which then is pulled into Make.com when this “update” automation is running.
The main problem I think I’m coming across is that the “update Item” in the SharePoint feature in Make.com is asking for a List ID. This I don’t have due to it not being a list, rather its actually a Folder?
If that makes sense?
Thanks
Perhaps update item isn’t the right module for this case.
After reviewing this page: Working with folders and files with REST | Microsoft Learn
You may need a custom API call for this one.
There is a whole section specifically on renaming a folder
I haven’t got enough experience with Sharepoint and Make to tell you if this can be done with any of the existing modules.
